The appropriate answer is a. the temperature is high enough but pressure low enough to melt iron. The earth's core is composed of two layers; the inner and outer core. Both layers are composed mainly of iron and nickel. The main difference between the two layers is that the inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid. The inner core is solid because of the pressure created by the overlaying layers; the outer core, mantle and the crust. The inner core is however hotter than the outer core.

Explanation:

The figure shows a regular pentagon with the radius and the length of one side given. The Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side of the right triangle whose given sides are the pentagon radius and half the side length. That missing side is the apothem of the pentagon. As with any regular polygon, the area of this pentagon will be half the product of the perimeter and the apothem. The perimeter of a pentagon is 5 times the side length. All dimensions are in feet, so the area will be in square feet.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The working out was not requested, but here it is, anyway.

  a = √(40.8² -(48/2)²) = √1088.64 ≈ 32.99 . . . feet

  P = 5(48 ft) = 240 ft

  A = (1/2)Pa = (1/2)(240 ft)(32.99 ft) = 3959.3 ft²

Note that the radius has been rounded down to the nearest tenth. If the full-accuracy value were used, the area would be found to be 3963.98 ft².
