Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.

So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.

So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.

Pls help me i just need help

Step-by-step explanation:

the total cost is, of course, first the cost to buy the copier, and then the running costs per copy made.

it is really that easy.

the equations just put this into mathematical form :

y = 0.02×x + 800

y = 0.06×x + 600

please notice, we put $600 or $800 in as constant term, because these costs are the starting costs that we have, even if we never make a single copy (x = 0).

and then the total cost goes up with every copy we make.

I cannot draw here.

so, to find the number of copies where both copier systems would cost the same, means we have to say both equating deliver the same result :

0.02×x + 800 = 0.06×x + 600

200 = 0.04×x

x = 200 / 0.04 = 5000

when making 5000 copies both costs are the same.

What is the minimum number of degrees that an equilateral triangle can be rotated before it carries onto itself?

mash [69]

Since the triangle has equal sides it will carry onto it self at 120, since it can rotate 360 grades only and it has 3 sides so it will rotate in one third of 360 so 120

i hope i helped you

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space of the experiment

first number in the bracket is white die and second number in the bracket is black

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

As it can be seen that the first numbers in the bracket are (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

∴1 on the white die can be obtained in 6 ways

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is how many degrees greater than the measure of an interior angle of a reg

harina [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angle of any polygon = 180* (n- 2 )

Here, n= number of sides

Sum of interior angles of regular octagon = 180 * ( 8-2) = 180 * 6 = 1080°

In regular octagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular octagon = 1080/8 = 135°

Sum of interior angles of regular hexagon = 180 * ( 6-2) = 180*4 = 720°

In regular hexagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is greater than the measure of an interior angle of a regular hexagon by 15°
