1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:


 (n-2) × 180°


 "n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).


 2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:


 (5-2)x180°=540°


 3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:


 α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

 8α=540°

 α=540°/8

 α=67.5°


 4. Finally, the larger angle is:


 2α=2(67.5°)=135°


 5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

Ray Np is an angle bisector of angle MNQ and measure of Angle PNQ = 2x+1. Find the measure of angle MNQ. If The measure of MNQ=x
Step2247 [10]
Refer to the diagram below.

Because ray NP bisects ∠MNQ, therefore
∠MNP = ∠PNQ = 2x + 1.
Therefore
∠MNQ = 2*∠PNQ = 2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2.

Because ∠MNQ is given as x² - 10, therefore
x² - 10 = 4x + 2
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
(x + 2 )(x - 6) = 0
x = -2, or x = 6

When x = -2, 
∠MNQ = 4*(-2) + 2 = -6°
This answer is not acceptablle, therefore x = -2 should be rejected.

When x = 6,
∠MNQ = 4*6 + 2 = 26°

Answer: x = 6, and ∠MNQ = 26°

A pilot was scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to air traffic, her departure has been delayed by 10 minutes. Air traffic co
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a. y equals one third times x plus 10

= y = 1/3(x) + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Let the original final plan = x

Let the current flight plan = y

The initial time of departure = 4.00pm

Her flight was then delayed for 10 minutes

We are told in the question that:

The current flight plan allows her arrive at her destination three times faster.

This means y= (1/3)x

y = x/3

Hence the equation generated =

y = x/3 +10

y = 1/3(x) + 10

The height of a cone-shaped container is 15 centimeters and its radius is 14 centimeters. Kate fills the container completely wi
lesantik [10]
The volume of the cone with radius r=14 cm and height h=15 cm is,
V= \frac{1}{3}  \pi r^2h =  \frac{1}{3}  \pi *14^2*15 = 3077.2~cm^3

Each day 40 cm^3 is subtracted from the volume. So the volume of honey left after [d] number of days would be the starting volume minus 40 times number of days passed.
V left=V start-40*d
V left = 3077.2 - 40d

It asks when the volume will be empty, The volume left is zero after how many days?
0 = 3077.2 - 40d
d=76.93 days,  or 80 days rounding to whole numbers.
