Answer:
about 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a regular polygon is ...
A = 1/2Pa . . . . where P is the perimeter and "a" is the apothem, the distance from the center to a side
Filling in your numbers, we have ...
20 cm^2 = (1/2)P(5 cm)
Dividing by the coefficient of P, we find ...
2×(20 cm^2)/(5 cm) = P = 8 cm
The perimeter of the pentagon is about 8 cm.
_____
<em>Comment on the problem</em>
This calculation makes use of the area formula, as apparently intended. A regular pentagon with an apothem of about 5 cm will have an area of about 90.8 cm^2. The given geometry is impossible, as the pentagon is nearly 10 cm across. It cannot have a perimeter of only 8 cm.
Answer:
Option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find a pair which shows equivalent expressions.
First equation is
Option 1 is incorrect.
Second equation is
Option 2 is incorrect.
Third equation is
Option 3 is correct.
Fourth equation is
Option 4 is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is 3.
The equation is
5x - 13 = 3x + 21
when solved, we get
x = 17
Answer: d. s ≥ 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s be the side of the square.
We know that the perimeter of a square =4s
Let f(s)=4s
If the cardboard should have a perimeter equal to at least 92 inches, the inequality would look like
Divide both sides by 4, we get
Thus, d. is the right answer. The reasonable domain of f(s) is 
Answer:
Description
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 2 solutions
b. 2 imaginary solutions
c. If the discriminant is positive, then it will have 2 real solutions as the square root of a positive number always equals a positive number. If the discriminant is negative, the quadratic equation will have 2 imaginary solutions, as the square root of a negative number is always imaginary. If the discriminant equals 0, it will have only 1 real solution.
