Step-by-step solution

12 steps
  1. Define initial quantities and variables for goats sold.

    Let A0A_0 be the initial number of goats Abdul has, and C0C_0 be the initial number of goats Chebet has.
    A0=32A_0 = 32 goats
    C0=56C_0 = 56 goats

    Let xx be the number of goats Abdul sold.
    Chebet sold twice as many goats as Abdul, so Chebet sold 2x2x goats.

  2. Express the number of goats remaining after the sale.

    Abdul's remaining goats: Ar=A0−x=32−xA_r = A_0 - x = 32 - x
    Chebet's remaining goats: Cr=C0−2x=56−2xC_r = C_0 - 2x = 56 - 2x

  3. Set up the ratio of remaining goats and solve for xx.

    The ratio of goats remaining for Abdul to Chebet is 3:53:5.

    32−x56−2x=35\frac{32 - x}{56 - 2x} = \frac{3}{5}

    Cross-multiply:

    5(32−x)=3(56−2x)5(32 - x) = 3(56 - 2x) 160−5x=168−6x160 - 5x = 168 - 6x

    Rearrange the terms to solve for xx:

    6x−5x=168−1606x - 5x = 168 - 160 x=8x = 8
  4. Calculate the total number of goats sold.

    Number of goats Abdul sold =x=8= x = 8 goats.
    Number of goats Chebet sold =2x=2×8=16= 2x = 2 \times 8 = 16 goats.
    Total number of goats sold =8+16=24= 8 + 16 = 24 goats.

    The total number of goats sold by Abdul and Chebet is 24 goats\boxed{\text{24 goats}}.

  5. Define the four consecutive odd numbers.

    Let the first odd number be nn.
    Since the numbers are consecutive odd numbers, they differ by 2.
    The four consecutive odd numbers are nn, n+2n+2, n+4n+4, and n+6n+6.

  6. Set up the equation for their sum.

    The sum of these four numbers is 64.

    n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)=64n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) = 64

    Combine like terms:

    4n+12=644n + 12 = 64
  7. Solve for nn.

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    4n=64−124n = 64 - 12 4n=524n = 52

    Divide by 4:

    n=524n = \frac{52}{4} n=13n = 13
  8. Determine the four integers.

    The first number is n=13n = 13.
    The second number is n+2=13+2=15n+2 = 13+2 = 15.
    The third number is n+4=13+4=17n+4 = 13+4 = 17.
    The fourth number is n+6=13+6=19n+6 = 13+6 = 19.

    The first four such integers are 13,15,17,19\boxed{13, 15, 17, 19}.

  9. Define the number of sides for each polygon and the formula for the sum of interior angles.

    Let N1N_1 be the number of sides of the first polygon, so N1=n−1N_1 = n-1.
    Let N2N_2 be the number of sides of the second polygon, so N2=nN_2 = n.
    The sum of interior angles of a polygon with NN sides is S=(N−2)×180∘S = (N-2) \times 180^\circ.

  10. Write the sum of interior angles for each polygon.

    Sum of interior angles for the first polygon (S1S_1):

    S1=((n−1)−2)×180∘=(n−3)×180∘S_1 = ((n-1)-2) \times 180^\circ = (n-3) \times 180^\circ

    Sum of interior angles for the second polygon (S2S_2):

    S2=(n−2)×180∘S_2 = (n-2) \times 180^\circ
  11. Use the given ratio to find nn.

    The ratio of the sums of interior angles is 4:54:5.

    S1S2=(n−3)×180∘(n−2)×180∘=45\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{(n-3) \times 180^\circ}{(n-2) \times 180^\circ} = \frac{4}{5} n−3n−2=45\frac{n-3}{n-2} = \frac{4}{5}

    Cross-multiply:

    5(n−3)=4(n−2)5(n-3) = 4(n-2) 5n−15=4n−85n - 15 = 4n - 8

    Solve for nn:

    5n−4n=15−85n - 4n = 15 - 8 n=7n = 7
  12. Calculate the number of sides for the first polygon.

    The polygon with sides (n−1)(n-1) has N1=n−1=7−1=6N_1 = n-1 = 7-1 = 6 sides.

    i) The size of the interior angle of the polygon with sides (n−1)(n-1).
    For a regular polygon with NN sides, the size of one interior angle is (N−2)×180∘N\frac{(N-2) \times 180^\circ}{N}.
    For N1=6N_1 = 6 sides:

    Interior Angle=(6−2)×180∘6=4×180∘6=720∘6=120∘\text{Interior Angle} = \frac{(6-2) \times 180^\circ}{6} = \frac{4 \times 180^\circ}{6} = \frac{720^\circ}{6} = 120^\circ

    The size of the interior angle of the polygon with sides (n−1)(n-1) is 120∘\boxed{120^\circ}.

    ii) The size of the exterior angle of the polygon with sides (n−1)(n-1).
    For a regular polygon with NN sides, the size of one exterior angle is 360∘N\frac{360^\circ}{N}.
    For N1=6N_1 = 6 sides:

    Exterior Angle=360∘6=60∘\text{Exterior Angle} = \frac{360^\circ}{6} = 60^\circ

    Alternatively, the interior angle and exterior angle sum to 180∘180^\circ.

    Exterior Angle=180∘−Interior Angle=180∘−120∘=60∘\text{Exterior Angle} = 180^\circ - \text{Interior Angle} = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ

    The size of the exterior angle of the polygon with sides (n−1)(n-1) is 60∘\boxed{60^\circ}.
