Assuming the vertex of the triangle shown is the center of the pentagon, and the line segment shown is an altitude of the triangle:

If we join the center of (the circumscribed circle and of) the pentagon to the 5 vertices, 5 isosceles triangles are formed, all congruent to the one shown in the figure. It is clear that these triangles are congruent, so to find the area of the pentagon, we find the area of one of these triangles and multiply by 5.

The base of the triangle is 22.3 in, and the height is 15.4 ins, thus the area of the pentagon is:

5(Area triangle)=5*[(22.3*15.4)/2]=<span>858.55 (square inches).


Answer: </span>858.55 (square inches).

Complete the equation of the line through ( − 9 , 7 ) and ( − 6 , − 3 ) Use exact numbers. y =
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to find the slope using the slope formula :

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-9,7)...x1 = -9 and y1 = 7

(-6,-3)....x2 = -6 and y2 = -3

now we sub

slope = (-3 - 7) / (-6 - (-9) = -10 / (-6 + 9) = -10 / 3

so our slope is -10/3

now we use y = mx + b....with m representing the slope

slope(m) = -10/3

use either of ur points....I will use (-9,7)...x = -9 and y = 7

we are solving for b, the y intercept

now we sub

7 = -10/3(-9) + b

7 = 30 + b

7 - 30 = b

- 23 = b

so ur equation is : y = -10/3x - 23
