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

Subtract:

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x³ - 10x² + 13x) - (5x³ + 4x² - 9x)

3x³ - 10x² + 13x - 5x³ - 4x² + 9x Change all terms after the subtraction sign to

the opposite sign (definition of Subtraction)

(3x³ - 5x³) + (-10x² - 4x²) + (13x + 9x) Group like terms together

-2x³ - 14x² + 22x

I need help with this

OLga [1]

Answer:

121

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles inside a triangle is always 180. The missing angle in the triangle must then be 180 -74 -47 = 59 degrees. The angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees so x + 59 = 180. x = 180-59 = 121

Determine whether the polynomial is a difference of squares and if it is, factor it.

Alexandra [31]

Just by the language difference means subtract,

Y^2-25 is the difference of squares
factored it's the sum and difference of their square roots

In parallelogram DEFG, DH = x + 3, HF = 3y, GH = 4x – 5, and HE = 2y + 3. Find the values of x and y.

marissa [1.9K]

Here, DH = HF

x+3 = 3y

x = 3y-3 ----(I)

GH = HE

4x-5 = 2y+3

4x = 2y+8

Substitute value of x,

4(3y-3) = 2y+8

12y-12 = 2y+8

12y-2y = 12+8

10y = 20

y = 2

Now, substitute it in equation 1,

x = 3(2)-3

x = 6-3 = 3

So, your final answer is x=3 & y=2

There are two functions that can be used to describe the percent of people 25 years and older who have completed at least high s

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$g(15)=93.8\%$

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of years since 2008,

g(x) ----> the percent of people 25 years and older who have completed at least high school

we know that

$g(x)=0.008x^2+0.42x+87.5$

For x=15 years since 2008

substitute

$g(15)=0.008(15)^2+0.42(15)+87.5=93.8\%$

That means

In the year 2023 (2008+15) the percent of people 25 and older completing at least high school will be 93.8%
