ABCDE is a regular pentagon.

Mathematics
1 answer:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
8 0

Part (A)

We have n = 5 sides, so the measure of any exterior angle of a regular pentagon is E = 360/n = 360/5 = 72

Each interior angle is therefore 180-E = 180-72 = 108 degrees.

---------------

Alternatively, you could use the formula below with n = 5

i = interior angle

i = 180(n-2)/n

i = 180(5-2)/5

i = 180(3)/5

i = 540/5

i = 108

---------------

<h3>Answer: 108 degrees</h3>

====================================================

Part (B)

We're told that CDF is 70 degrees. From part (A) we know that angle CDE is 108 degrees, so this must mean that angle EDF is 108-70 = 38 degrees.

Similarly, angle FEA is 85 degrees, which subtracts from angle AED to get 108 - 85 = 23 degrees. This is the measure of angle DEF.

So far we found

angle EDF = 38

angle DEF = 23

Let's call these x and y for shorthand. Let z be the missing third angle of triangle DFE.

So,

x+y+z = 180

38+23+z = 180

61+z = 180

x = 180-61

x = 119

Interior angle DFE is 119 degrees.

Note how 90 < x < 180 showing we have an obtuse angle. It is not a reflex angle because the statement 180 < x < 360 is false.

So we subtract the value of x from 360

360-x = 360-119 = 241

This is the reflex angle DFE

---------------

<h3>Answer: 241 degrees</h3>

For any linear function f(x) = mx + b, when does kf(x) = f(kx)?
iogann1982 [59]

Only when <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1<em>.</em>

If <em>f(x)</em> = <em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>, then

<em>f</em> (<em>kx</em>) = <em>m</em> (<em>kx</em>) + <em>b</em> = <em>mkx</em> + <em>b</em>

while

<em>k</em> <em>f(x)</em> = <em>k</em> (<em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>) = <em>kmx</em> + <em>kb</em>

The two expression are identical only if

<em>kb</em> = <em>b</em>   ===>   <em>kb</em> - <em>b</em> = 0   ===>   <em>b</em> (<em>k</em> - 1) = 0   ===>   <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1

4. Kay and Allen sell cell phones. Last month Kay sold 17 more cell phones than Allen. Together they both sold 117 cell phones.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Allen sold 50 cell phones while Kay sold 67 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cell phones sold by Allen be x. This will imply that the number of cell phones sold by Kay is x + 17.

Furthermore, we are informed that together they sold a total of 117 cell phones. Therefore, we use the following equation to determine the number of cell phones sold by each;

x + x + 17 = 117

2x + 17 = 117

2x = 100

x = 50

Therefore, Allen sold 50 cell phones while Kay sold 67 cell phones.
