Polygon Inequalities
1. **Problem 8a:** Find the number of sides of a regular polygon with an internal angle of 150°.
The formula for the internal angle $I$ of a regular polygon with $n$ sides is:
$$I = \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}$$
We know $I = 150$, so:
$$150 = \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}$$
2. Multiply both sides by $n$:
$$150n = 180(n-2)$$
3. Expand the right side:
$$150n = 180n - 360$$
4. Rearrange to isolate $n$:
$$180n - 150n = 360$$
$$30n = 360$$
5. Divide both sides by 30:
$$n = \frac{360}{30} = 12$$
**Answer:** The polygon has 12 sides.
6. **Problem 8b:** Find the perimeter of the polygon given each side length is 10 cm.
The perimeter $P$ of a polygon is:
$$P = n \times \text{side length}$$
7. Substitute $n=12$ and side length = 10 cm:
$$P = 12 \times 10 = 120$$
**Answer:** The perimeter is 120 cm.
8. **Problem 9:** Determine if point $(3,1)$ lies within the region defined by:
$$3x + 2y \geq 12$$
$$5x + 3y \leq 15$$
9. Substitute $x=3$, $y=1$ into the first inequality:
$$3(3) + 2(1) = 9 + 2 = 11$$
Check if $11 \geq 12$? No, it is false.
10. Since the first inequality is false, the point $(3,1)$ does not satisfy the region's conditions.
**Answer:** The point $(3,1)$ does not lie within the region $R$.
