Answer: Because of gaps between the vertex of Pentagons and hexagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pentagon has 5 sides and 5 vertex angles. While hexagon has 6 sides and six vertex angles

The sum of the angle of polygon is equal to ( n - 2 )180

Sum of the angle of a Pentagon will be: (5 - 2)×180 = 540

Each vertex angle of a Pentagon = 540/5 = 108

Sum of the angle of hexagon will be: (6 - 2)×180 = 720

Each vertex angle of a hexagon =

720/6 = 120

To interlock Pentagon and hexagon, the sum of the combination of vertex angles of both must be equal to 360 ( sum of the angles at a point = 360)

Since there is no number of combinations that can be equal to 360, there will surely be a gap.

The simple interest formula is ​I=Prt ​, where I is the interest, P is the principal, r is the interest rate, and t is the time.
DaniilM [7]
t = 5.3 years
(about 5 years 4 months)

Equation:
t = (1/r)(A/P - 1)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 7.2%/100 = 0.072 per year,
then, solving our equation

t = (1/0.072)((4835.6/3500) - 1) = 5.3
t = 5.3 years

Find the measure of y in the picture please
kaheart [24]

Answer: A. 47

Step-by-step explanation: The answer would be 47 degrees because the 47 degree angle has one mark, and so does x and y. This means that these angles are the same.
