*To solve for a variable, you have to isolate the desired variable onto 1 side

So firstly, subtract 2p on both sides of the equation: $-a=p+b$

Next, subtract b on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be $-a-b=p$

The answer is 333. put the 3 and the 2 in the correct spots. then multiply 8 and 2 which is 16 then 7 and 3 which is 21. then add which is 37. you would have to multiply 37 and 9 and you would get 333.

The endpoints of a regular pentagon are (-1,4) and (2,3). What is the perimeter of the Pentagon?

ryzh [129]

the assumption being that the endpoints are two continuous points in the pentagon, Check picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+[3-4]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(3-4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{9+1}\implies d=\sqrt{10}~\hfill \stackrel{\stackrel{~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{5 sides}}{}}{\textit{perimeter of the pentagon}}}{5\sqrt{10}}$
