Answer:

5(3x + 5) or 15x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular pentagon has 5 sides of equal length. The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of those sides. We can use multiplication to find the sum of 5 of the same value:

P = 5(3x +5)

Perhaps you want it expanded. Using the distributive property, we multiply each term in parentheses by 5:

P = 15x + 25

Given: ABCD is a trapezoid, AB=CD, MN is a midsegment, MN=30, BC=17, AB=26 Find: m∠A, m∠B, m∠C, and m∠D

enyata [817]

Answer:

The measures of angle ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, and ∠D are 60, 120, 120 and 60 degree respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:AB=CD, MN is a midsegment, MN=30, BC=17, AB=26

Since two opposites sides are equal, therefore we can say that two no parallel sides are equal.

The length of midsegment is average of length of parallel lines.

$MN=\frac{AD+BC}{2}$

$30=\frac{AD+17}{2}$

$60=AD+17$

$43=AD$

Draw perpendiculars on AD from B and C. Let angle A be θ. D

$AD=AE+EF+FD$

Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, therefore AE=FD and EF=BC

$AD=AE+EF+AE$

$43=2(AE)+17$

$26=2(AE)$

$13=AE$

$\cos\theta=\frac{base}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos\theta=\frac{AE}{AB}$

$\cos\theta=\frac{13}{26}$

$\cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}$

$\theta=\cos^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

$\theta=60$

Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, therefore angles A and D are same. Angle B and C are same.

$\angle A=\angle D=60^{\circ}$

The sum of two consecutive angles of a trapezoid is 180 degree by consecutive interior angle theorem.

$\angle A+\angle B=180^{\circ}$

$60^{\circ}+\angle B=180^{\circ}$

$\angle B=120^{\circ}$

$\angle B=\angle C=120^{\circ}$

Therefore measures of angle ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, and ∠D are 60, 120, 120 and 60 degree respectively.

Courtney walked from her house to the beach at a constant speed of 4 kilometers per hour, and then walked

RUDIKE [14]

The system of equations that represents this situation are:

q + p = 2

4q + 5p = 8

Solution:

Let q be the number of hours it took Courtney to walk from her house to the beach

Let p be the number of hours it took her to walk from the beach to the park

The entire walk took 2 hours

Therefore,

q + p = 2 ------- eqn 1

The total distance Courtney walked was 8 kilometers

Total distance = 8 km

Courtney walked from her house to the beach at a constant speed of 4 kilometers per hour

Then walked from the beach to the park at a constant speed of 5 kilometers per hour

Distance is given as:

$distance = speed \times time$

From her house to the beach:

$distance = 4 \times q = 4q$

From the beach to the park:

$distance = 5 \times p = 5p$

We know that,

Total distance = 8 km

Therefore,

4q + 5p = 8 ------ eqn 2

Thus the system of equations that represents this situation are:

q + p = 2

4q + 5p = 8
