Using the Pythagorean theorem:

b = √(c^2 - a^2)

b = √(30^2 - 18^2)

b = √(900 - 324)

b = √576

b = 24 feet

The ten sides of a regular decagon are colored with five different colors, so that all five colors are used, and sides that are
const2013 [10]

Answer:

  • <u>120</u>

Explanation:

Number the sides of the decagon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, from top (currently red) clockwise.

  • The side number one can be colored of five different colors (red, orange, blue, green, or yellow): 5
  • The side number two can be colored with four different colors: 4
  • The side number three can be colored with three different colors: 3
  • The side number four can be colored with two different colors: 2
  • The side number five can be colored with the only color left: 1
  • Each of the sides six through ten can be colored with one color, the same as its opposite side: 1

Thus, by the multiplication or fundamental principle of counting, the number of different ways to color the decagon will be:

  • 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 ×1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 120.

Notice that numbering the sides starting from other than the top side is a rotation of the decagon, which would lead to identical coloring decagons, not adding a new way to the number of ways to color the sides of the figure.
