Triangle has 180° total
square has 360° total
pentagon has 540° total
hexagon has 720° total
so they increase by 180° for every side to the polygon starting at 3 sides instead of 1 so if n is how many sides in the polygon then
(n-2)×180=degrees TOTAL inside the polygon
(n-2)×180/n=degrees for EACH angle in the polygon

(n-2)×180/n=162
multiply both sides by n
(n-2)×180=162n
divide both sides by 180
n-2=162n/180
n-2=0.9n
subtract 0.9n and add 2 to both sides to get n alone
0.1n=2
n=20 sides

Answer:

Gear have 20 sides .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A company is manufacturing a gear in the shape of a regular polygon. The measure of each angle of the gear is 162º.

To find : How many sides does the gear have.

Solution : We have given that  each angle of polygon = 162 degree.

By the property of polygon :

Each angle of polygon = \frac{(n-2)180}{n}.

Where, n is number of sides polygon .

Plugging the values,

162 ° =  \frac{(n-2)180}{n}.

On simplify right side , we can write it as:

162  °  = \frac{180n}{n} -\frac{360}{n}.

162  °  =  180 -\frac{360}{n}.

On subtracting by 180 both side.

162 -180 = -\frac{360}{n}.

-18°  = - \frac{360}{n}.

On multiplying by n both side

-18° × n = -360°

On dividing by - 18 by both side

n = \frac{360}{18}.

n = 20 .

Therefore , gear have 20 sides .

posledela

The sales price is $15.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Discount = 80%

Original price = $76

Discount price = 80% of original price

Discount\ price=\frac{80}{100}*76\\Discount\ price=\frac{6080}{100}\\Discount\ price=\$60.8

Sale's price = Original price - Discount price

Sale\ price= 76-60.8\\Sale\ price= \$15.2

The sales price is $15.2
