Find the sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon and hence the size of each interior angle

 (a) 720°,  (b)  120°

Step-by-step explanation:

A hexagon is a polygon with six sides.

Formula for finding the interior angle of a polygon = ( 2n - 4 )complementary

                                                                                    = ( 2n - 4 ) 90

complimentary angle is 90°  or

                                                                                     = ( n - 2 )supplementary

supplementary angle is 180° . Now solving the question now since n = 6

we now put it in any of the formula above

       ( 2 x 6 - 4 ) x 90  =  ( 12 - 4 ) x 90

                                   =   8 x 90

                                   = 720°     or

     ( 6 - 2 ) x 180        =  4 x 180

                                  = 720°.

The second part of the question, each size of the interior angle

                                  = ⁷²⁰/₆

                                  = 120°

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
