SOLUTION:

5.) Sum of all interior angles = 180 (n – 2) ; Measure of each interior angles =
[ 180 ( n−2 ) ]
n
Given interior angle measure: 108

108 =
[ 180 ( n−2 ) ]
n

(108 =
[ 180 ( n−2 ) ] ) n
n
108n = 180n – 360
108n – 180n = 180n – 180n – 360
(-72n = -360)¿)
n=5
A 5-sides polygon is Pentagon.
6.) Using Pythagorean Theorem: c 2=a2+ b2
Given: c = 15 ; b = 5 ; a = ?
2 2 2
c =a + b
2 2 2
15 =a +5
225 = a 2 + 25

225 - 25 = a 2 + 25 – 25

√ 200= √a 2
10√ 2=a

19. Circumference of a Circle = 2πr ; Area of a Circle ¿ π r 2

Given: Area = 4π
Hence; 4π ¿ π r 2
1
(4π ¿ π r 2)
π
4 = r2 Circumference = 2πr
√ 4=√ r 2 = 2π(2)

2=r = 4π

22.) Measure of each interior angles =

[ 180 ( n−2 ) ]
n
Given: Interior Angle = 165 ; n = ?

165=
[ 180 ( n−2 ) ]
n

(165=
[ 180 ( n−2 ) ] ) n
n
165n = 180n – 360
165n -180n = 180n – 180n – 360
 −1
(-15n = -360) ( )

n = 24

25.) Area of a Rectangle = L x W ; Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Given: A= 117cm 2 ; L = 13cm

117cm 2 = 13cm x W
1
(117cm2=13 cmW ¿ ( )
13 cm
9cm = W
Hence; P = 2(13) + 2(9)
= 44cm
59.) Given: Ratio of the interior angles of a triangle = 1 : 5: 6 ; Shortest side = 4
Sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle = 180
1:5:6
x + 5x + 6x = 180 1st angle: x = 15
1
(12x = 180) ( ) 2nd angle: 5x = 5(15) 75
12
x = 15 3rd angle: 6x = 6(15) = 90

To find height, we will use SOHCAHTOA – tangent = opposite / adjacent

tan(15) =
h

(tan(15) = ¿h
h

(htan(15) = 4 )
tan ( 15 )

h=
1 tan ( 15 )
Hence; A= bh

A=
tan ( 15 )

A = 29.86 m2
62.) To find the height, find first the area using the Heron’s Formula since all sides are
given.
A +B+ C
A = √ S ( S− A ) ( S−B ) ( S−C ) ; S=

A+ B+C
S=

5+6 +8
S= =9.5

A = √ 9.5 ( 9.5−5 )( 9.5−6 )( 9.5−8 ) = 14. 98

A= bh ; b = 5 and h = ?

h = 5.99

99.) Obtuse right

- obtuse triangle has 1 angle greater than 90 but less than 180
- right triangle has 1 angle measuring 90
X not possible because triangle’s interior angles = 180.
Scalene Isosceles
- scalene triangles has no equal sides
- isosceles triangles has at least two equal sides
X not possible, concepts are contradictory.
Right Equilateral
- right triangle has 1 angle measuring 90 degrees.
- equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides
X not possible
Right scalene
- right triangle has 1 angle measuring 90 (hypotenuse is the longest side)
- scalene triangles has no equal sides
 possible, an example of this is a 30-60-90 right triangle. It has no equal sides, thus
also a scalene triangle.
