Find the measure of Angle e?? need major help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (welshfella):

(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

OpenStudy (welshfella):

= 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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
