What are the missing measures
How many sides does the polygon have?
6...
good What is the sum of the measures of all the angles of a polygon? Do you know the formula?
517? and no i do not no the formula
The formula is: The sum of the measure of the angles of a polynomial of n sides is (n - 2)*180 Just subtract 2 from the number of sides and multiply by 180 Your polynomial has 6 sides, can you find the sum of the measures of the angles?
im confused.?
Take the number of sides, 6 Subtract 2 from it. What do you get?
4?
good Now multiply 4 by 180. What do you get?
720
great. Now you know that the measures of all those angles in your figure added up equal 720.
You add up all the measures given in the figure and set it equal to the sum you got from the formula: 4x + 135 + 120 + 125 + 3x + 130 = 720
Now you need to solve the equation for x.
how do you solve for X?
Add 4x and 3x on the left side Add all the numbers on the left side
What is 4x + 3x = ?
What is 135 + 120 + 125 + 130 = ?
4x+3x=7x and 135+120+125+130=510
Great, so you have: 4x + 135 + 120 + 125 + 3x + 130 = 720 7x + 510 = 720 Now subtract 510 from both sides.
|dw:1372199789503:dw| Now divide both sides by 7 to get x. Once you have x, multiply x by 3 and by 4 to get the 2 angle measures.
