Solution

The problem in the image asks to determine the value of angle uu in a figure formed by two regular polygons.

Analyzing the Problem:

  1. Hexagon (Six sides): The outer polygon appears to be a regular hexagon. The interior angles of a regular hexagon are 120120^\circ.

  2. Square (Four sides): The inner polygon is a square. The interior angles of a square are 9090^\circ.

The problem involves finding the angle uu, which seems to be at the intersection of the two polygons.

Solution Approach:

The angle uu forms part of the interior angle at the vertex where the hexagon and square meet.

  • The interior angle of the hexagon at a vertex is 120120^\circ.
  • The interior angle of the square at a vertex is 9090^\circ.

The key to solving this is recognizing that uu is the difference between the hexagon's interior angle and a portion of the square's interior angle.

Calculation:

Since uu is the external angle difference between these polygons:

u=12090=30u = 120^\circ - 90^\circ = 30^\circ

Conclusion:

The correct value of uu is 30\boxed{30^\circ}, which corresponds to option B.

Would you like a detailed explanation of this solution or have any questions? Here are some related questions:

  1. What are the properties of interior angles in regular polygons?
  2. How do you calculate the interior angle of any regular polygon?
  3. Can you explain the relationship between exterior and interior angles in polygons?
  4. What is the sum of interior angles for any polygon with nn sides?
  5. How would the value of uu change if the hexagon was replaced by an octagon?

Tip: When dealing with regular polygons, always remember that the interior angle can be found using the formula (n2)×180n\frac{(n-2) \times 180^\circ}{n}, where nn is the number of sides.
