The figure shows two congruent regular polygons. What is the value of m? 100 80 72 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help pleaseee

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so there are poligons with 9 sides ,yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 9 sides

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so can you calcule it how many degree will be the angle what is formed from two sides ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so if this is difficile hence so can you tel me one poligon will be formed from how many the same triangles ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with 2 angles i think it would be obtuse , but i dont know how to get the degree's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry i dont understand :/

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok look please if there are nine sides equales so this signe that this poligon we can separated in 9 equales triangles yes ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so from this you can calcule easy how many degrees will be one centrale degree of a triangle ,yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how would you find the central degrees ? 9 equal triangles .. do you add them together or something ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so you know that the circle has an central angle of 360 degree yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you need just divide this 360

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

by 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oo okay yes 360 that makes sence , so 360 / 9 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats 40 ? so what would i do after i get 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i add 40+40 ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry my internet conection is wrong slowly

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so no after you g

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

afte

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

afte

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

et after you get that the central degree of a triangle equal 4 degree so than you can easy calcule how many degrees will be the second and 3-rd angles of this triangle

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

40 degrees sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay , wont they all be 40 though ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the sum of the angles of a triangle how many is ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope so much that you know it ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

180 degrees yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sum of a triangle is 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than if you know that the central angle has an angle of 40 degree so than the second and 3-rd angle will be how many degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70 ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so if you know this so than the angle what is formed from two sides of poligon how many degrees will have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72 O.o ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

moment please
