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.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

c=\frac{t-10}{m}

Step-by-step explanation:

t=10+cm

Subtract 10 from both sides:

t-10=cm

Divide both sides by m:

\frac{t-10}{m}=c

Placing c on the left:

c=\frac{t-10}{m}

For example, if the total charge is $27.50 and the distance ridden is 250 mi, we can calculate the additional cost per mile, as such:

c=\frac{27.50-10}{250}

c=0.07

Help math ITS EASY IF U LOKE RATIO
scoundrel [369]

You have the right one selected.

The answer is 2:1

To find this take each side of ABC and its corresponding side on DEF, then simplify. You can treat ratios just like fractions, so simplify them in the same way.

20:10 becomes 2:1

12:6 becomes 2:1

16:8 becomes 2:1
