X = 7, Y = 16.
The bottom 2 lines of the kite are equal, so 2x + 5 = x + 12. Subtract x from both sides, and then subtract 5 from both sides. You end up with x = 7.
You then substitute (put it) this value for x in the top 2 lines ; x + 5 = y - 4. This would equal 7 + 5 = y - 4.
Therefore you add 4 to both sides and you get y = 16.

The difference of the square of a number and 5 is equal to 4 times that number. Find the negative solution.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

$x=-1 or x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be 'x'.

According to the statement given above:

$x^2-5=4x$

or

$x^2-4x-5=0$

Factorizing the quadratic equation for 'x'

$x^2+x-5x-5=0$

Taking common from the equation:

$x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(x-5)=0\\(x+1)=0, (x-5)=0\\x=-1,x=5$

The solution of the equation is $x=-1 or x=5$

A regular pentagonal prism has a volume of 2,850 cubic millimeters. what is the height of the prism? a regular pentagonal prism

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Height = 19mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a regular polygon = (A * P) / 2 where A = side / (2 * Tan (π / N)) where, N = Number of sides, A = Apothem, P = Perimeter.

Here A = 5, P = 5*12 = 60 so

Area of the base = (5 * 60) / 2 = 150 mm^2.

Volume = area base * height so

Height = volume / area of base

= 2850 / 150

= 19 mm.
