A pentagon has 3 congruent sides and 2 other congruent sides. The perimeter of the pentagon is 36 centimeters. The three long co

ngruent sides are 2 centimeters longer than the two shorter congruent sides.
Let x = length of a short side
Let y = length of a long side

The system of equations can be used to represent the situation.

y = x + 22
x + 3y = 36

What is the length of one of the shorter congruent sides?

What is the surface area of a coke bottle? <br>how do you figure it out?
svetlana [45]
Can or bottle? A can will be the calculation for the surface area of a cylinder which is A= 2 \pi rh+2 \pi  r^{2} if r is the radius of the circle on the top and bottom of the can and h is the height of the can. A can is basically two circles and a big rectangle. For a bottle I don't know there are too many components and no numbers to solve for that

GrogVix [38]
\dfrac{2}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$72

-----------------------------------------------
Find 1/9 :
-----------------------------------------------
\dfrac{1}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$72 \div 2

\dfrac{1}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$36

-----------------------------------------------
Find 9/9 :
-----------------------------------------------
\dfrac{9}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$36 \times 9

\dfrac{9}{9} \text { of the saving} = \$324

-----------------------------------------------

The coordinate point F(-8, 0) after a dilation with scale factor of 0.25, centered at the origin, becomes the point
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

(-2,\, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilate a point (x,\, y) by a scale factor of r with (a,\, b) as the center, and the resultant point would be at (a + r\, (x - a),\, b + r\, (y - a)).

In this question:

Point to dilate: (x,\, y) = (-8,\, 0).

Scale factor: r = 0.25.

Center of dilation: (a,\, b) = (0,\, 0).

The resultant point would be:

(0 + 0.25\, (-8 - 0),\, 0 + 0.25\, (0 - 0)), which simplifies to (-2,\, 0).
