Make the following number sequences, from the sequence of equilateral triangles, squares, regular pentagons and so on, of regular polygons. Arithmetic sequence . 10 standard mathematics

1)Make the following number sequences, from the sequence of equilateral triangles, squares, regular pentagons and so on, of regular polygons:

 No. Of sides.                               3,4,5,.....

Sum of inner angles 

One inner angle

One outer angle


Ans:

     No.of sides :3,4,5

      Sum of inner angles:


Sum of inner angles of a regular polygon of n sides

= n × [ (n - 2)180° ]/2 

= (n - 2)180°

∴ Sum of interior angles of equilateral triangle (n = 3), square (n = 4), regular pentagon (n = 5), etc are:

180°, 360°, 540°, ..........


Sum of outer angles of a regular polygon of n sides

= n × 180° - (n - 2) × 180°

= 2 × 180°

360°

which is free from "n".



1 interior angle

One interior angle of triangle, square, regular pentagon etc are,

180°/3, 360°/4, 540°/5,.......

= 60°, 90°, 180°,.........

1 exterior angle

One exterior angle of triangle, square, regular pentagon etc are,

360°/3, 360°/4, 360°/5,.......

= 120°, 90°, 72°,.........

If circles are drawn with each side of a triangle of sides 5 centimetres, 12 centimetres and 13 centimetres, as diameters, then with respect to each circle, where would be the third vertex?. Circles

In the picture, a circle is drawn with a line as diameter and a smaller circle with half the line as to diameter. Prove that any chord of the larger circle through the point where the circles meet is bisected by the small circle. Circles
