What is the length of a side of the pentagon?

The length of a side of a pentagon is 69 units.

Since the hexagon on the left has 6 sides, and all of the sides have an equal length, if you multiply the number of sides(6) by the length of one side (3x+5) you will get the perimeter of the hexagon, 6(3x+5)
This is the same for the pentagon as well, since the pentagon on the right has 5 sides, and all of the sides have an equal length, if you multiply the number of sides(5) by the length of one side (4x-1) you will get the perimeter of the pentagon, 5(4x-1)

Now we have the equation for the perimeter of the hexagon, 6(3x+5), and the pentagon 5(4x-1). Since we know that the perimeters are the same length for each shape, we can set these two formulas equal to each other

Here is how I set up my equation
6(3x+5)=5(4x-1)

Now that you have the equation, you must solve for x, which I will demonstrate the steps down below

6(3x+5)=5(4x-1)
18x+30=20x-5 (subtract 18x on both sides)
30=2x-5 (subtract -5 on both sides)
35=2x (divide 2 on each side)
17.5=x

Now that you have determined that x is 17.5, all that is left to do is plug in 17.5 into the equation that solves for one side of the pentagon(4x-1) to get the length of a side of a pentagon, which is your answer.

Here is the work if needed
4(17.5)-1
70-1
69

The length of a side of a pentagon is 69 units.

I hope this helped!

2x^4 + x^3 − 8x^2 − 4x
= x ∙ (2x^3 + x^2 − 8x − 4)
= x ∙ (x^2 ∙ (2x + 1) − 4 ∙ (2x + 1))
= x ∙ (x^2 − 4) ∙ (2x + 1)
= x ∙ (x − 2) ∙ (x + 2) ∙ (2x + 1)

Thus the roots are:
x ∙ (x − 2) ∙ (x + 2) ∙ (2x + 1) = 0
⇒ [x = 0] or [x − 2 = 0] or [x + 2 = 0] or [2x + 1 = 0]
⇒ [x = 0] or [x = 2] or [x = −2] or [x = − 1/2]

Write as many equations as possible that could represent the relationship between the ages of the two children in each family de
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Here we have:

"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

O = age of the oldest child.

Then we know that:

Y = O - 7

O = 18

Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:

Y = 18 - 7 = 11.

b) Here we have:

"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

M = age of the middle child.

Here we have only one equation:

M = Y + 5.

A screen has side lengths of 10 ft and
Strike441 [17]

The length from one  corner to the opposite corner is 26 feet

The screen is the shape of a rectangle.

The length from one corner to the opposite corner is known as the diagonal or hypotenuse. The diagonal separates the rectangle into 2 right-angled triangles . The diagonal's value can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = width

c = diagonal

10² + 24²

100 + 576

= 676

determine the value of the square root

√576 = 26 feet

Which pair of expressions are equivalent?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

second one

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when you try to remove the brackets then you should multiply coefficient of x and coefficient of y by 2

So it will be 2x+18y

2*9=18
