Each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side. If the perimeter of this pentagon is 500 cm, find the lengths o
Vesna [10]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm

The picture below shows a container that Jeff uses to freeze water: A cylinder is shown with base diameter of 8 centimeters and
Butoxors [25]
Okay, first we need to figure out what one would make. We need to figure out the area of the base x height. The diameter is 8 so we will cut that to 4 so we can do piR2! 3.14x16 would be 50.24. Then we mutiply that by 10 to get 502.4cm3! Okay, now we would divide 2000/502.4 to find out how many times we would have to make the containers to get to 2000. The answer is 3.98, which we will have to round up since its asks for the minimum and you cant make a container 3.98 times. So the answer is 4!
