For part a), use the formula
A = 180(n-2)/n
where
A = interior angle
n = number of sides
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for part b), you subtract the result you got in part a) from 180

Damn I tried it, But getting the wrong answer
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
show me what you got

I got 144
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
A = 180(n-2)/n
A = 180(36-2)/36
A = 180(34)/36
A = 6120/36
A = 170
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
So the interior angle is actually 170
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
The exterior angle would then be 180 - 170 = 10 degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And how if I do part B, Do I subtract 180 from 170?

I got 19, but thats the wrong answer.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
solve for 'a'
a/9 = 25/15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait so I am simplify more, or is that going to be my answer?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no, you need to isolate 'a'
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
to get a = ???

Isolate meaning divide?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
isolate means get 'a' all by itself on one side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am so lost
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
a/9 = 25/15
a/9 = 5/3
a = 9*(5/3)
a = 45/3
a = 15
You're just solving for 'a'
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
If this is completely foreign to you, I recommend getting more practice with it
