<h3>Answer:  54</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Focus on the bottom most triangle. The upper angle of this triangle is 360/5 = 72 degrees. This is because the regular pentagon is split into five congruent (aka identical) triangles.

Each of the triangles are isosceles. Let x be the measure of the base angles.

Use the rule that adding the three angles of a triangle gets us 180

angle1+angle2+angle3 = 180

x+x+72 = 180

2x+72 = 180

2x = 180-72

2x = 108

x = 108/2

x = 54 is the answer

----------------------

Another way to get the answer:

i = interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides

i = 180(n-2)/n

i = 180(5-2)/5

i = 180(3)/5

i = 540/5

i = 108

Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees.

Angle x marked in blue is half that, so it is 108/2 = 54 degrees

----------------------

A third method:

E = exterior angle of a regular polygon with n sides

E = 360/n

E = 360/5

E = 72 degrees is the measure of each exterior angle

i = 180 - E

i = 180-72

i = 108 is the measure of each interior angle.

To wrap things up, we follow the same exact steps at the end of the 2nd section to get 108/2 = 54 as our answer.

B is the midpoint of A . If AB = x+5 and BC =2x-11, find the measure of AB
nignag [31]

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC.

We have AB = x + 5 and BC = 2x - 11.

Therefore we have the equation:

x + 5 = 2x - 11       <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>

x = 2x - 16       <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>

-x = -16      <em>change the signs</em>

x = 16

Put the value of x to the expression x + 5:

AB = 16 + 5 = 21

<h3>Answer: AB = 21</h3>
