W=21
To get from 4 to 28 you multiply by 7, so 3x7=21.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{w}{28}$

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{w}{4 \times 7}$

$3 = \frac{w}{7}$

$w = 21$

The end points of one side of a regular pentagon are (-1,4) and (2,3). What is the perimeter of the pentagon?

marissa [1.9K]

To determine the perimeter of the pentagon, you must first calculate a side length of it. Let's name the coordinates A(-1,4) and B(2,3).

To figure out how far the points are from each other, you have to use the distance formula:
$D_{AB} = \sqrt{( x_{2}-x_{1})^2+{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}
$
$x_{1} =1, x_{2} =-2, y_{1} =2, y_{2} =3$
$D_{AB}= \sqrt{(2--1)^2+{(3-4)^2}$
D_{AB}= \sqrt{(2--1)^2+{(3-4)^2}
$D_{AB}= \sqrt{(2+1)^2+{(3-4)^2}$
$D_{AB}= \sqrt{(3)^2+(-1)^2}$
$D_{AB}= \sqrt{9+1}$
$D_{AB}= \sqrt{10}$

Now, the formula for the perimeter of a pentagon is
P = 5×side length

So...
Perimeter = 5× $\sqrt{10}$

The answer is (2)

What is the area of an isosceles trapezoid, if the lengths of its bases are 16 cm and 30 cm and the diagonals are perpendicular

kicyunya [14]

Call the point of intersection of the diagonals point X.

Each base is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose sides are the diagonals and whose 90° angle is at X. The altitude of that triangle (⊥ distance to the base from X) is half the length of the hypotenuse. Then the height of the trapezoid is half the sum of the base lengths.

The area of the trapezoid is the product of the height and half the sum of the base lengths, hence is the square of half the sum of the base lengths.

... Area = ((16 cm +30 cm)/2)² = (23 cm)² = 529 cm²
