Does a regular pentagon tessellate and why​

Mathematics

mariarad [96]3 years ago

Answer:

No, a regular pentagon does not tessellate.

In a tessellation, all the angles at a point have to add to 360 degrees, as this means there is no overlap, nor are there gaps. To find the interior angle sum of a pentagon, we use the following formula:

(n-2)*180 (where n is the number of sides)

We plug in the number of sides (5) and get:

Angle sum = (5–2)*180

Angle sum = 3*180

Angle sum = 540

Regular pentagons have equal sides and equal angles, so to find the size of the interior angle of a pentagon, we divide the angle sum by 5 and get 108 degrees for every angle.

As I said before, the angles at a point need to add up to 360, so we need to know if 108 divides evenly into 360. If it does, the shape tessellates, and, if it doesn’t, the shape does not.

360/108 = 3.33333…

This means that a regular pentagon does not tessellate.

Hope this helps!

Wendy borrowed a 370-page book from the library. She has already read 20 pages. The book is due back to the library in 7 days. W
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

n ≥ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages = 370

Read pages = 20

Number of days remaining = 7

Reading rate per day = n

7n + 20 ≥ 370

7n ≥ 370 - 20

7n ≥ 350

n ≥ 350/7

n ≥ 50 pages per day for the remaining 7 days

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2 - 2x + 25 = 8x^2 + 8x

9x^2-8x^2-2x-8x+25=0

x^2-6x+25=0 factorize

(x-5)(x-5)=0

x-5=0 then x=5

Tengo 5 cubos de colores. Uno rojo, uno amarillo, uno verde, uno azul claro y uno azul oscuro. ¿De cuántas formas puedo organiza
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

72 formas

Step-by-step explanation:

Primero vamos a calcular de cuántas formas se puede organizar los 5 cubos en una columna utilizando la regla de la multiplicación:

5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120

Porque tenemos 5 cubos para poner en la base de la columna, luego 4 cubos para la segunda posición de la columna, luego 3 cubos y así hasta organizar todos los cubos.

Luego vamos a calcular de cuántas formas podemos organizar los 5 cubos de tal forma que los cubos azules se toquen entre sí. Para esto vamos a contar los dos cubos azules como si fueran uno solo, es decir, sólo tendríamos "4 cubos" y podríamos organizar los cubos de 24 formas distintas:

4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24

Por otro lado, los 2 cubos azules pueden ser organizados de dos formas diferentes: primero el claro y luego el oscuro o primero el oscuro y luego el claro.

Es decir que hay 24 formas distintas de organizar los cubos en donde primero va el claro y luego el oscuro y hay 24 formas de organizar los cubos en donde primero va el oscuro y luego el claro.

Esto significa que de las 120 formas de organizar los 5 cubos, 48 formas tienen los cubos azules juntos y en 72 (120-48) formas los dos cubos azules no se tocan entre sí.
