In order to find the area of a regular Pentagon, which is composed of 5 congruent isosceles triangles with bases (b) being the sides of the Pentagon (P).
So b = 6ft.
Distance from the center, where all 5 triangle apexes touch, to each vertex also makes the sides of the triangles. This = 6ft. We'll call it side (s). Now to find the area of each triangle, we need the apothem, which is the height of the Isosceles triangle. The height (h) or apothem bisects the polygon side/triangle base (b) into 2 equal lengths. So b/2 = 6/2 = 3ft.
Now we have 2 right triangles making up each of the 5 triangles, split by the apothem h.
We can find h by Pythagorean Theorem: h^2 = (b/2)^2 + s^2
So h^2 = 3^2 + 6^2 = 9 + 36 = 45
So square root (sr) of h^2 = h, which = square root of 45
--> h = sr (9) × sr (5) = 3sr5
Now the area of a triangle (At) = 1/2 b×h --> At = 3×3sr5 = 9sr5
Now that's one triangle, multiply it by 5 to get the area of all 5 triangles, which as we've said make up the Area of the regular Pentagon (P).
So P = 5 × 9sr5 = 45sr5, or approximately 100.62 ft. squared
Hope this helps!

If by decomposition you mean breaking it ino parts then

break it itno 2 triangles and 1 rectangle

left to right

triangle with base y and height h
h=10
y=3
area of traignel=1/2bh
aera=1/2(10)(3)
area=5(3)
area=15

rectangel of legnth x and height h
area=legnth timwe width
x=8
h=10
area=8 times 10
aera=80


last triangle
should be same as other sinces same base (y) and same height (h)
15

add
15+80+15=120

Sandy is helping her uncle at this coffee shop. She observes that, when ordering coffee, 13 of customers select chocolate flavor
otez555 [7]
Answer: The probability that 3 or more of the next 5 customers will order chocolate is 30%.  3/10

Sandy conducted her own experiment to answer this question. She observed what groups of 5 customers ordered. In her experiment, 30% of the time at least 3 of the customers ordered chocolate.

The fraction 30% is 3/10.
