A regular pentagon is created using the bases of five congruent isosceles triangles, joined at a common vertex. The total number

of degrees in the center is 360°. If all five vertex angles meeting at the center are congruent, what is the measure of a base angle of one of the triangles? 54° 72° 108° 144°

Answer:

54\°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

The two equal angles are the base angles and the third angle is the vertex angle

In this problem

The vertex angle of one of the isosceles triangle is equal to

360\°/5=72\°

The sum of the internal angles of the triangle is equal to 180\°

Let

x------> the measure of a base angle of one of the isosceles triangle

so

2x+72\°=180\°

solve for x

2x=180\°-72\°

2x=108\°

x=54\°

It's 54 degrees.

The internet is a wonderful friend. Type in "Pentagon split into triangles" on google images and you will find a diagram that finds it.

Factor 6p^2 +15p+9????
Ivanshal [37]
To factor the trinomial, you can use the ac method where you multiply the first and last terms together (6 and 9) and add up to 15.
In this case ac= 54
2 numbers that multiply to 54 and add up to 15 would be 6 and 9 so place these numbers where the 15 would be:
6p^{2} +9p + 6p+9
Then group terms to simplify:
(6p^{2} +9p)(6p+9)

Simplify any like terms:
3p(2p+3) 3(2p+3)
And group together again:
(3p+3)(2p+3)
You can simplify a 3 out of the first expression one more time to get:
3(p+1)(2p+3)
Which would be the factored form. I hope this helps :)

Explain how to find the sum −8.46+5.31. a.) Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative. b.
Amanda [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of −8.46 and 5.31 means we need to add −8.46+5.31.

We know that,

|-8.46| > |5.31|

It means we subtract 8.46 - 5.31

At hundredth place, 6-1 = 5

At tenths place, 4-3 = 1

At ones place, 8-5 = 3

It would mean that, 8.46 - 5.31 = 3.15

8.46 has a negative sign. It means that the final answer will have negative sign i.e. −8.46+5.31 = -3.15

Hence, the correct option is (a) " Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative".

KonstantinChe [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)= -16x² + 72x + 80

Plug 2 in to check if it's correct.

g(2)= -16(2)² + 72(2) + 80

-16(4)+128+80

-72+128+80

= 136
