Answer: the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees and that of a decagon is 1440 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the sum of the measure of the interior angles in a regular polygon is expressed as (n - 2) × 180.

A Pentagon has 5 sides. This means that the sum of the angles in a heptagon is

180(5 - 2) = 180 × 3 = 540 degrees

A Decagon has 10 sides. This means that the sum of the angles in a heptagon is

180(10 - 2) = 180 × 8 = 1440 degrees

arrange the expressions in the correct sequence to rationalize the denominator of the expression -(2)/(\sqrt(x+y-2)-\sqrt(x+y+2)

We have to rationalize the denominator:
$\frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} } = \\ \frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} }* \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-(x+y+2)}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-x-y-2}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{-4}= \\ \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{2}$
