Answer: The converse is "If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon" and it is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to state the converse of the following conditional statement and to determine whether it is true or false :

"If a polygon is a regular pentagon, then it has 5 sides".

We know that

the converse of a conditional statement "p ⇒ q" is given by "q ⇒ p".

Therefore, the CONVERSE of given conditional statement is

"If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon".

The converse is not true, because if a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a pentagon, not necessarily a regular pentagon.

Thus, the converse is "If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon" and it is FALSE.

If a polygon has 5 sides, then it is a regular pentagon
False: regular pentagon = equiangular. There are pentagons that have 5 sides that are not equiangular

This figure shows △XYZ . MZ¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . What is XM ? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. unit

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Length of XM is 5.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △XYZ where MZ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . we have to find the length of XM.

A triangle with vertices X, Y, and Z. Side XZ is base. A line segment drawn from Z to M bisects ∠YZX into two parts ∠YZM and ∠XZM.

YZ=7 units, XZ=11 units and YM=3.5 units

By angle bisector theorem which states that an angle bisector of an angle divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the another two sides of the triangle.

Hence, $\frac{YM}{MX}=\frac{YZ}{XZ}$

⇒ $\frac{3.5}{MX}=\frac{7}{11}$

⇒ MX=5.5 units.

Hence, length of XM is 5.5 units.

Calculate the midpoint of the line segments joining the two points (-8, -7) and (4,9)

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the midpoint, you need to plug in the values of x and y into the midpoint formula.

M ( x1 + x2/2 , y1 + y2/2)

M [ -8 + 4/2 , -7 + 9/2]

M ( -2, 1)

How do you find the arc length of a semi-circle?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

the arc length is calculated by the formula $\displaystyle\bf C=\frac{2\pi r}{360} \cdot\alpha$ then $\displaystyle\bf C=\frac{2\cdot 8 \pi }{360} \cdot180=8\pi=3,14\cdot8=25.12$ or it can be calculated using the circumference of the circle since we have a semicircle the circumference 2πr must be divided by 2 С=2πr:2=πr =8π=<u>25,12</u>
