The gift package at the right contains fruit and cheese. The fruit is in a container that has the shape of a regular octagon. The fruit container fits in a square box. A triangular cheese wedge fills each corner of the box. 37. Find the measure of each interior angle of a cheese wedge.
u got a pic
cool
ohk
do the obvious first u now its 90 degree angles on the corners
easy, you familiar with regular polygons eh ?
all exterior angles add up to 360. same thing we can use here
an octagon has 8 sides. so it has 8 extrior angles 8n = 360 n = ?
n=45
thats it ! one angle 90, other two angles are 45
thats 45 degree exterior angle, also the interior angle of yellow cheese wedge
is the angles 90 and 45 or just 45 degrees?
thats right ! 90 45 45

a triangle has 3 interior angles btw, so u need to give them 3 angles
this is the property u can work everything with, u have to know for regular octagon there are 8 equal sides
@ganeshie8 ill remember that
you better :)
hey do u wanna see this way too
yes sure
u can work it out on yourself, what every angle will be from this starting point
dan ive already shown her in the previous quesitons
