Answer:
C. 1.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides.
The formula for the area of a regular polygon is
where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. The perimeter is found by multiplying the number of sides of the figure by the length of 1 of those sides:
5(2.2) = 11
Now we have everything we need to solve for the length of the apothem.
Begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction, so
16.6 = 11a Divide both sides by 11 to get
a = 1.5090909 or
C. 1.5 cm

Answer:
5 minutes to run 1 kilometer
Step-by-step explanation:
Alonzo takes 12 minutes to run 6 times around a 400-meter track.
6 times around a 400 m track
400 * 6 = 2400 meters
It take 12 minutes to run 2400 meters
2400 meters = 2400/1000 = 2.4km
distance = 2.4 km and time = 12 minutes
Now we find our constant speed
2.4 = speed * 12
divide by 12 on both sides
speed = 0.2
so speed is 0.2 km per minute
Now we find out time when distance = 1km
Distance = speed * time
1 = 0.2 * t
divide by 0.2 on both sides
5 = t
So it take 5 minutes to run 1 kilometer
