Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular polygon is a shape with equal sides and angles. Because of this, we can write the following equation to set two sides equal to each other:
Solving, we will get a in terms of b:
Now we can substitute a for (b+3) into our equation:
Therefore, the length of each side of this polygon is 
.
Since the perimeter of the polygon consists of all five sides, the perimeter is:
I assume you're looking for n.
so, take 2n/10-3n/10=2/10. Making everything have the same denominator is always easier.
This way, you have -n/10=2/10.
n=-2.
Let's make it an expression.
Three half's= 3/2 Plus= + one fifth= 1/5
We need to turn 3/2 and 1/5 so that they have the same denominator. Let's use 10.
3/2→15/10 1/5→2/10
15/10+2/10=17/10=1 7/10
So, three half's plus one fifth is 1 7/10.
Answer:
18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's list out the sides.
for the first square let's just call them x
for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3
So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z
x*x = z
(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21
since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.
(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21
x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21
But look, the x^2s cancel out
2x - 15 = 21
2x = 36
x = 18
Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.
I think it's 9 but I could be wrong
