First count the number of sides in the polygon How many?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9-2=7
7 times 180 right
OpenStudy (welshfella):
right now there a formula for finding the total number of angles in a polygon form its number of sides.
if i recall correctly its 180(n - 2)
i'll check that out.

1,260 is the sum
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yes thats right
so you now set up an equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what would it look like?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
6x - 1 + 7x + 6 etc = 1260
solve this for x
and angle e = 7x + 9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
170 is the answer thanks!

can i ask you another question??
OpenStudy (welshfella):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
find the value of c.
a. 10
b.5
c.square root 2
d. 10 square root 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (welshfella):
this right angled triangle is also isosceles because the unmarked angle is also 45 degrees.
So the other leg is also 5 sqrt2
you use the pythagoras theorem to solve this
c^2 = (5 sqrt2)^2 + (5 sqrt2)^2

(5 sqrt2)^2 = 5^2 * 2 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10??
OpenStudy (welshfella):
the final answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c^2 = (5 sqrt2)^2 + (5 sqrt2)^2, does that equal 10?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
no
(5 sqrt2)^2 = 5^2 * 2

= 25 8 2 = 50
OpenStudy (welshfella):
* thats * not 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do you do with the 50 now?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
c^2 = 50 + 50
OpenStudy (welshfella):
i've assumed you are familiar with the pythagoras theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is 100, and the final answer is c, so would it be 10?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes a^2 +b^2 = C^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have another problem like this with a scalene triangle
OpenStudy (welshfella):
ok gtg now
hope this has helped
