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 .

Answer:

Final Value = 58.50 × (1 + 10/100)

Final Value = 58.50 × (1 + 0.1)

Final Value = 58.50 × (1.1)

Final Value = 64.35

A person standing on level ground is 2000 feet away from the foot of a 420-foot-tall building, as shown in the accompanying diag
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the tangent of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side. Therefore, the tangent of angle x is 420/2000=0.21. Taking the arctangent of that to get the angle, you get about 12 degrees. Hope this helps!

There were 567 people at a concert when a band started playing. After each song, only one-third of the people stayed to hear the
emmasim [6.3K]
To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.

At x = 0   y = 567
at x = 1   y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)

Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:

y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )

ANEK [815]
Just subtract 622 feet from 486 feet to get the change in elevation.  The result will be negative because your friend's house is at a lower elevation than yours.

Now find the mean change in elevation per mile by dividing (486 ft - 622 ft) by 4 miles:
                      -136 ft
                    -----------  = -34 ft/mile
