The pentagonal area is 20 cm square. Point A located in the pentagon and equidistant from all sides of the pentagon about 5 cm.

Answer:

  about 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is ...

  A = 1/2Pa . . . . where P is the perimeter and "a" is the apothem, the distance from the center to a side

Filling in your numbers, we have ...

  20 cm^2 = (1/2)P(5 cm)

Dividing by the coefficient of P, we find ...

  2×(20 cm^2)/(5 cm) = P = 8 cm

The perimeter of the pentagon is about 8 cm.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This calculation makes use of the area formula, as apparently intended. A regular pentagon with an apothem of about 5 cm will have an area of about 90.8 cm^2. The given geometry is impossible, as the pentagon is nearly 10 cm across. It cannot have a perimeter of only 8 cm.

In the rectangle below,
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle,  diagonals are equal and bisect each other

BE  =   AE

6x - 5 = 2x +  7

6x - 2x - 5 = 7

       4x - 5 = 7

             4x = 7 + 5

             4x = 12

               x = 12/4

               x = 3

AE = 2x + 7

     = 2*3 + 7

    = 6 + 7

AE =  13

AC = 13 + 13

AC = 26

m∠EBC = 50

In rectangle, each angle is 90

m∠ABE + m∠EBC = 90

m∠ABE + 50 = 90

          m∠ABE = 90 - 50

          m∠ABE = 40

In rectangle, AB // DC and DB transversal

m∠ECD = m∠ABE   { alternate interior angles}

m∠ECD = 40

Paul bought a student discount card for the bus. The card allows him to buy daily bus passes for $1.30.
baherus [9]

Answer:

<em>Paul spent 6 dollars on the student discount card.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If each pass is $1.30, simply divide 21 by 1.30

You should get 27.30

Next, subtract 33.30 by 27.30, getting 6.

Answer:

-3.25 >-2.5 +r

Option 4 is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given picture is a graph of number line representing the area to the left of -0.75 not including -0.75

i.e. the graph shows r<-0.75, where r is a variable

Subtract 2.5 to both the sides

we get

-2.5+r <-0.75-2.5

or -2.5+r <-3.25

Or -3.25 >-2.5 +r

Option 4 is right.

Why other options are wrong:

i) 3.25<r+2.5.  0 satisfies this inequality but not included in the graph. Hence wrong.

ii)3.25>2.5+r

r=0 satisiffes this contradicting the graph again.

Thus second option is right.

iii) -3.25<-2.5+r

Here r =0 satisfies this equation contrary to graph.  Hence option iii is wrong.
