Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The known side lengths of Polygon A are.5 and1.5. . The known side length of Polygon B is5.
3. The known angles in Polygon A are53 degrees and82 degrees.
4. The polygons are similar, meaning their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional.

STEP 2

To find the scale factor from Polygon A to Polygon B, we need to divide the corresponding side length of Polygon B by the corresponding side length of Polygon A.
Scale factor=Side length of Polygon BCorresponding side length of Polygon AScale\, factor = \frac{Side\, length\, of\, Polygon\, B}{Corresponding\, side\, length\, of\, Polygon\, A}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the side lengths of Polygon B and Polygon A to calculate the scale factor.
Scale factor=52.5Scale\, factor = \frac{5}{2.5}

STEP 4

Calculate the scale factor.
Scale factor=2.=2Scale\, factor = \frac{}{2.} =2So, the scale factor from Polygon A to Polygon B is2.

STEP 5

To find the missing lengths of each side marked with a question mark in Polygon B, we need to multiply the corresponding side lengths of Polygon A by the scale factor.
Missing side length of Polygon B=Corresponding side length of Polygon AtimesScale factorMissing\, side\, length\, of\, Polygon\, B = Corresponding\, side\, length\, of\, Polygon\, A \\times Scale\, factor

STEP 6

Since we don't have the values for the missing side lengths of Polygon A, we can't find the missing side lengths of Polygon B at this point. We need more information to solve this part of the problem.

STEP 7

To determine the measure of each angle marked with a question mark in Polygon A, we need to know that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formulaSum of interior angles=(n−2)times180Sum\, of\, interior\, angles = (n-2) \\times180where n is the number of sides in the polygon.

STEP 8

Assuming that Polygon A is a pentagon (5-sided), we can calculate the sum of its interior angles.
Sum of interior angles=(5−2)times180=540Sum\, of\, interior\, angles = (5-2) \\times180 =540

STEP 9

Now, subtract the known angles from the sum of the interior angles to find the sum of the unknown angles.
Sum of unknown angles=Sum of interior angles−Known anglesSum\, of\, unknown\, angles = Sum\, of\, interior\, angles - Known\, angles

STEP 10

Plug in the values for the sum of the interior angles and the known angles to calculate the sum of the unknown angles.
Sum of unknown angles=540−(53+82)Sum\, of\, unknown\, angles =540 - (53 +82)

STEP 11

Calculate the sum of the unknown angles.
Sum of unknown angles=540−(53+82)=405Sum\, of\, unknown\, angles =540 - (53 +82) =405

STEP 12

Assuming that the unknown angles are equal (since we don't have any information to suggest otherwise), we can find the measure of each unknown angle by dividing the sum of the unknown angles by the number of unknown angles.
Unknown angle=Sum of unknown anglesNumber of unknown anglesUnknown\, angle = \frac{Sum\, of\, unknown\, angles}{Number\, of\, unknown\, angles}

STEP 13

Now, plug in the values for the sum of the unknown angles and the number of unknown angles (3) to calculate the measure of each unknown angle.
Unknown angle=4053Unknown\, angle = \frac{405}{3}

STEP 14

Calculate the measure of each unknown angle.
Unknown angle=4053=135Unknown\, angle = \frac{405}{3} =135So, each unknown angle in Polygon A measures135 degrees.
