Short Answer: y = 36°
Remark
What an interesting question!! The first thing you have to do is find out what the interior angle of a regular pentagon is. After you have done that, you can calculate y.

Method.
The exterior angles of a regular figure add up to 360°. 

Step One

Find out the size of the exterior angles of a  regular pentagon. 
There are 5 such angles. They add up to 360°

5x = 360  Divide by 5
x = 360 / 5
x = 72°

Step Two
Find out the value of the interior angles of a pentagon.

Method
The interior and exterior angles add up to 180°
Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180°
Exterior angle = 72 degrees
72° + Interior Angle = 180°                  Subtract 72 from both sides.
Interior Angle = 180° - 72° 
Interior Angle = 108°

Step Three
Solve for y.

There are 3 tiles each with an angle of 108° that are placed together. So y + 3 interior angles = 360°

y + 3*interior angles = 360°
y + 3*108 = 360 
y + 324 = 360 Subtract 324 from both sides.
y = 360 - 324
y = 36°

A farmer wants to enclose a rectangular field that borders a river with 400 feet of fencing material. if the farmer does not fen
ICE Princess25 [194]
Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".Then the side parallel to the river is "400-2x".
The formula for Area = width*length
A(x) = x(400-2x)
A(x) = 400x - 2x^2
You have a quadratic with a = -2 and b = 400
Maximum Area occurs where x = -b/2a = -400/(2*-2) = 100 ft. (width)
length = 400-2x = 400-2*100 =  200 ft (length)

vova2212 [387]

Answer: OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise shown in the image attached, you need to subtract the functions f(x) and g(x).

Keeping the above on mind, you have:

(f-g)(x)=2x^{2}+2-(x^{2}-1)

You must distribute the negative sign and then you must add the like terms, therefore, you obtain:

(f-g)(x)=2x^{2}+2-x^{2}+1\\(f-g)(x)=x^{2} +3
