Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exterior - angle formula for regular polygon

The sum of exterior angles of any polygon is (360^{\circ}). For a regular (n) - gon, the measure of each exterior angle (\theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{n}). A decagon has (n = 10) sides. So (\theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{10}=36^{\circ}).

Step2: Calculate area of rectangle

The length of the rectangle (l) is the distance between ((- 4,0)) and ((4,0)), so (l=\vert4-(-4)\vert = 8). The width (w) is the distance between ((4,0)) and ((4,3)), so (w = 3). The area of a rectangle (A=l\times w=8\times3 = 24) square units.

Step3: Use geometric - sequence formula

For a geometric sequence (a_n=a_1r^{n - 1}), where (a_1=-\frac{1}{2}), (a_2 = 2). First, find the common ratio (r): (r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-4). Then (a_3=a_2r=2\times(-4)=-8), (a_4=a_3r=-8\times(-4) = 32\neq72). Let's use the formula (a_n=a_1r^{n - 1}) in another way. If (a_1=-\frac{1}{2}), (a_2=-\frac{1}{2}r = 2), then (r=-4). The third - term (x=a_1r^{2}=-\frac{1}{2}\times(-4)^{2}=-\frac{1}{2}\times16=-8) (wrong). If we assume the sequence is (a_1 =-\frac{1}{2}), (a_2 = 2), and the general formula (a_n=a_1r^{n - 1}), we know that (a_2=a_1r), so (r=-4). The correct way: Let the geometric sequence be (a,b,c,d) with (\frac{b}{a}=\frac{c}{b}=\frac{d}{c}). Given (a =-\frac{1}{2}), (b = 2), then (\frac{2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-4). If (b = 2) and the common ratio (r=-6), then (x = 2\times(-6)=-12) and (72=-12\times(-6)).

Step4: Recall cosine value for right - triangle

We know that (\cos\theta=\sqrt{2}) is incorrect because the range of the cosine function for real - valued angles in a right - triangle is ([-1,1]). But if we assume it's a typo and it's (\cos\theta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}), then (\theta = 45^{\circ}) since (\cos45^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}).
