The length of side of triangle is 5 units and length of side of pentagon is 1.5 units.

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, An equilateral triangle has sides of length (3k-2) units.  

Then, perimeter of the triangle will be 3 \times(3 k-2)=9 k-6

A regular pentagon (5 sides) has sides of (2k+0.5) units.  

Then, perimeter of the pentagon will be 5 \times(2 k+0.5)=10 k+2.5

We have to find the dimensions of each shape . Now, the perimeter of the triangle is twice the perimeter of the pentagon,  

So, \text {perimeter of triangle} = 2\times \text{perimeter of pentagon}

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 9 k-6=2(10 k+2.5)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 9 k-6=20 k+5} \\\\ {\rightarrow 20 k-9 k=-6-5} \\\\ {\rightarrow 11 k=-11} \\\\ {\rightarrow k=-1}\end{array}

Then, length of side of triangle = 3(-1)-2 = - 5

Length of side of pentagon = 2(-1) + 0.5 = - 1.5

We have to neglect, negative sign as lengths can’t be negative. Even if we change the sign above all conditions are satisfied.

How do I verify this identity? I know you should write sin2a as sin(a+a).
Kisachek [45]

SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to verify the identity

STEP 1: Write the given identity

\sin 2\alpha=2\sin \alpha\cos \alpha

STEP 2: Verify the identity

\begin{gathered} \sin 2\alpha=2\sin \alpha\cos \alpha \\ \text{Consider the left hand side of the above trigonometry identity.} \\ \text{That is, }\sin 2\alpha\text{.} \\ \text{ Rewrite }\sin 2\alpha\text{ as }\sin (\alpha+a) \\ \text{ It is known that }\sin (a+b)=\sin (a)\cos b+\cos (a)\sin (b) \\ U\sin g\text{ this statement above, we have;} \\ \sin (\alpha+a)=\sin a\cos \alpha+\cos a\sin \alpha \\ \text{It is known that }xy+yx=xy+xy=2\times xy=2xy \\ U\sin g\text{ this statement above, we have;} \\ \sin a\cos \alpha+\cos a\sin \alpha=\sin a\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha\cos \alpha=2\times\sin \alpha\cos \alpha=2\sin \alpha\cos \alpha \\ \text{Hence, }\sin 2\alpha=2\sin \alpha\cos \alpha \end{gathered}

The verification of the identity is as seen above.

Change at least one number in the table so that it DOES represent a function.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

change 2 to 4

and 1 to 5

1 --> 5

2 --> 10

3 --> 15

4 --> 20

5 --> 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Function means you can have one input for evry one output

so you have to change the 2 and 1 to diffrent numbers like 4 and 5

so now evey imput has their own out put

befor input one it had 5 and 24

and input two had 10 and 20 but changing the number you get one for one
