Algebra.Com's Answer #464127 by Stitch(470)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One interior angle of a polygon is found by the equation: \n" ); document.write( "Where n is the number of sides of the polygon. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "I will help you answer the first few. \n" ); document.write( "You are one given the angle of 156 \n" ); document.write( "Plug 156 into the equation for A. \n" ); document.write( "Since you will be doing this calulations multiple times, we will simplify the equation. \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by n \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 180 through of the right side. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Get all the n terms on one side of the equation by subtracting 180n from both sides. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Now plug 156 into the equation for A. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -24. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Follow the same steps for the rest of the given angles. \n" ); document.write( "For A = 157.5 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "For A = 162 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will leave the rest up to you.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
