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 .

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together. one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7/12 feet.
elena-s [515]
To find all of the feet of pipe that Brad has, you add both of the lengths of the pipes together. So 2 5/12+3 7/12. Add the numbers together first, 5. Then add the fractions, 5/12+7/12=1. So add 5 and 1 and you get 6 feet of pipe. Hope this helps.

Julie has a jewlery box shaped like a cube. The volume of the jewlery box is v cubic inches. Write an
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: ∛v

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know volume is measured height x width x length, we know the equation we'd use here would be:

___ x ___ x ___ =  v in³

If this was area, we would have ___ x ___ = v in², and it would be easy to find each blank. You would just find the square root of "v", making your answer √v.

When you have 3 things multiplied by each other (that are exactly the same, which is the situation here since this is a cube), you will want to find ∛x (if x is our unknown variable). This means that we are finding ONE-THIRD of the number ... sort of. So if x was equal to 8, then ∛x = 2, because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

In our situation here, x = v, and since we don't know the actual number, we will keep it as a square root, so the answer to your question is ∛v.

I really hope I was able to explain easy enough, feel free to ask anything else!
