How do I solve for y?

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°

You can solve this problem with or without a calculator, and I don't know if you're allowed one or not so I'll show you both ways

Calculator:
The easiest way to find percentages of values on the calculator is to use the decimal multipliers, which are just the decimal value of the percentage. For example, 50% would be 0.5, 75% would be 0.75 etc. The decimal value of 15% is 0.15, so you would do 8.40 × 0.15 = 1.26

Non-Calculator:
This is a bit longer, but gives you the same answer. To solve without a calculator, you first divide 8.40 by 10 to find 10%, which is 0.84. Now you can divide that by 2 to find 5%, which would be 0.42, and then you add the two values (because 10% + 5% = 15%) to get 1.26

I hope this helps!

Georgia [21]

Answer:

16 cm^2/min

Step-by-step explanation:

dV/dt=24

V=a^3, differentiate with respect to t

dV/dt=3a^2*da/dt, a^2*da/dt=8

S=6a^2, 216=6a^2. a=6. da/dt=(8/36)

dS/dt=12*a*da/dt=12*(8/6)=16 cm^2/min
