A regular pentagon may be divided into 5 congruent triangles.


If the side of the pentagon is 6 feet, each base of the triangles will be 6 feet.


If the distance from the center to a vertex is 6 feet, all the sides of the triangles will 6 feet.


So there are 5 congruent, equilateral triangles each with side equal to 6 feet.


The area one of those triangles is calculateb by:


base * height / 2


height ^2 = (side length) ^2 - (side length /2)^2 = 6^2 - 3^2 = 36 - 9 = 27


=> height = √(27) ≈ 5.2 feet


And, using area = base * height / 2 ,


area of a triangle = 6 feet * 5.2 feet / 2 = 15.6 feet^2


And the area of the entire pentagon equals 5 triangles ≈ 5 * 15.6 feet^2 = 78 feet^2


Answer: 78 feet^2

Should we only write condensed formula in chemical equations (for lessons like carbon and compounds). What did your teachers say
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

  • If your teachers don't ask for a specific type of formula, a condensed structural formula should be OK.
  • If they ask specifically for a structural formula or a bond-line formula, that is what you must give.

Bottom line: ask your teachers in advance what they expect.

A mixture that separates into different layers when you stop stirring it is Select one: a. a solution. b. a suspension. c. a col
leva [86]

Answer: b suspension

a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation . The particles may be

visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve , but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent , left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation , with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a

microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid , in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.

Colloids and suspensions are different from

solution , in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.
