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.

To equation solve 8 = h/-3 +19
Naya [18.7K]
8h/3+19
Move all terms to the left
8-(h/3+19)=0
Get rid of parentheses
-h/3-19+8=0
Multiply all terms by denominator
-h-19*3+8*3=0
Add all numbers and variables together
-1h-33=0
Move all terms containing h to the left all other terms to the right
-h=33
h=33/-1
h=-33
