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 .

For the table below, determine the function rule, and find each of the missing y-values.
anygoal [31]
The answer is 8 and 13

<span>
y = ax + b
y = 4, x = 1        </span>⇒  4 = a + b
y = 6, x = 3       ⇒  6 = 3a + b

Solve the system of equation:
a + b = 4
3a + b = 6
______
b = 4 - a
3a + b = 6
______
3a + 4 - a = 6
2a + 4 = 6
2a = 6 - 4
2a = 2
a = 2/2 = 1
b = 4 - a = 4 - 1 = 3

So, the function rule is: y = x + 3

Thus, if x = 7, then y = 7 + 3 = 10
If x = 10, then y = 10 + 3 = 13

What are the values of A,B and C?<br><br> Please show all the work on how you got your answer
il63 [147K]

Answer:

a=35, b=14, c=5

Step-by-step explanation:

b+6=20, b+6-6=20-6, b=14

4c-6=14, 4c-6+6=14+6, 4c=20, 4c/4=20/4, c=5

a triangle's angles always add up to 180, 180-55-90(the square means right angle)=35

Debbie found a suitcase that was originally 129 but now is on sale for 30% off. If sales tax is 8.75%, what is her final cost?
Marizza181 [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we first multiply 129 by 0.7 since the price descresed 30 percent. each percent is equal to 0.01.

129 * 0.7 = 90.3

Then we multiply 90.3 by 1.0875 since that is the sales tax

90.3 * 1.0875 = 98.2

so the cost is 98.2

1000 was invested at 5.5% interest, compounded annually. After sometime the amount had grown to 1550. How long was the money inv
scZoUnD [109]

compound interest equation for annually compounded

A=P(1+r)^t

A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal

t=time in years


given that

A=1550

P=1000

r=5.5%=0.055

find t


1550=1000(1+0.055)^t

divide both sides by 1000

1.55=1.055^t

take ln of both sides

ln(1.55)=ln(1.055^t)

use ln rule ln(a^b)=b(ln(a))

ln(1.55)=t(ln(1.055))

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

\frac{ln(1.55)}{ln(1.055)}=t

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs

so about 8.2yrs
