Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of each interior angle of an regular n-gon is given by:

Each interior = \frac{(n-2)*180}{n}

So each interior of the pentagon will be  \frac{(5-2)*180}{5}\\=\frac{3*180}{5}\\=108

Now we can see that the angle x is supplementary to interior angle of pentagon. So that means angle x and interior angle of pentagon add up to 180, so we can write:

108 + x = 180

x = 180 - 108 = 72

72 degrees is the right answer.

Jayden wants to lay sod on his front yard and on half of his back yard. His front yard has a length of 50 feet and a width of 80
Svetlanka [38]
Its an area equation. Area is length times width.

So to start, he needs 50x80 square feet in his front yard, BUT THAT IS ONLY HALF OF THE PROBLEM. For the front yard he needs 4000 sq. feet. For the back, it is different. He needs 10x40÷2. To first simplify, we do the multiplication. This comes to 400÷2. then it is simply 200.

Now for the easy part. Take the 4000 and add 200. Answer? 4,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in this case, since this is an intersection, the opposite sides are the same. Therefore, we can make a equation like this:

75 = 3x-15

Then we get:

90=3x
