What is the approximate area of the regular pentagon?
2 answers:
Area of the pentagon: 342 cm2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure of the pentagon is missing: find it in attachment.
The area of the pentagon can be seen as the area of 5 equal triangles, each of them having a base equal to the length of the side of the pentagon,
L = 14.1 cm
and the height of each triangle can be found by using Pythagorean's theorem:
The area of each of the 5 triangles is
Therefore, the area of the pentagon is 5 times this area:

Check the picture below.
so, as you can see, the UV segment is parallel to ZW, and therefore, they're the same slope, hmmm wait just a second, what is the slope of ZW anyway?
since now we know the ZW slope, we also know what is the slope for UV, thus,
