A=bh/2, h=b-5 so

A=(b/2)(b-5)

A=(b^2-5b)/2 and A=42 so:

(b^2-5b)/2=42

b^2-5b=84

b^2-5b-84=0

b^2-12b+7b-84=0

b(b-12)+7(b-12)=0

(b+7)(b-12)=0 and since b>0

b=12m

The interior angle measures of a convex pentagon are consecutive multiples of 4. find the measure of each interior angle.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

100°, 104°, 108°, 112°,116°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest angle be $4x$ . Since, the interior angles are consecutive, the other angles are $4(x+1)$ , $4(x+2)$ , $4(x+3)$ and $4(x+4)$ .

Sum of interior angles = 540°

$4x+4(x+1)+4(x+2)+4(x+3)+4(x+4)=540$ °

$20x+40=540$ °

$20x=(540-40)$ °

$20x=500$ °

$x=(500/20)$ °

$x=25$

Using the value of x to calculate the angles:

$4x=4*25=100$ °

$4(x+1)=4*26=104$ °

$4(x+2)=4*27=108$ °

$4(x+3)=4*28=112$ °

$4(x+4)=4*29=116$ °

Cassidy wrote the linear equation y=5x+4. Then she wrote the equation of the line that is parallel to y=5x+ and that passes thro

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The value of b is -42

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel equations have identical or equal slopes. Given the form of the equation; y=5x+b and the point it passes through (8,-2) we determine the unknown value b by substituting x with 8 and y with -2. We solve the equation; -2 =5(8)+b to obtain b = -42
