Answer:
b = 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the interior angles of the pentagon and equate to 540
Starting from the top and going clockwise
b + b + 45 + 90 + 2b - 90 +
b = 540 ← simplify left side
b + 45 = 540 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )
11b + 90 = 1080 ( subtract 90 from both sides )
11b = 990 ( divide both sides by 11 )
b = 90
Thus
b + 45 = 90 + 45 = 135
2b - 90 = 2(90) - 90 = 180 - 90 = 90
b =
× 90 = 135
The angle measure from the top clockwise are
90°, 135°, 90°, 90°, 135°
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
