Answer:

69

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = sum of all sides of a regular polygon = the number of sides*length of a side

Length of a side of the given regular hexagon = 3x + 5

Perimeter of hexagon = 6(3x + 5) = 6(3x) + 6(5) = 18x + 30

Length of a side of the given regular pentagon = 4x - 1

Perimeter of pentagon = 5(4x - 1) = 5(4x) - 5(1) = 20x - 5

Since we are told that the perimeter of the regular hexagon is the same as that of the regular pentagon, therefore:

18x + 30 = 20x - 5

Solve for x.

Subtract 20x from both sides

18x + 30 - 20x = 20x - 5 - 20x

-2x + 30 = -5

Subtract 30 from both sides

-2x+ 30 - 30 = -5 - 30

-2x = -35

Divide both sides by -2

x = -35/-2

x = 17.5

Length of a side of pentagon = 4x - 1

Plug in the value of x

4(17.5) - 1 = 70 - 1 = 69

length of a side of the pentagon = 69

Dennis_Churaev [7]

We are given a boxplot that contains some data. We will use the information below to analyze the given question.

STEP 1: Median

From the image above, we can see that the median represents the line drawn inside the box

This gives;

\text{Median}=24

STEP 2: Interquartile range

The interquartile range is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

\begin{gathered} q_3=28 \\ q_1=22 \\ \text{IQR}=28-22 \\ \text{IQR}=6 \end{gathered}

A car travels 60 miles due north then makes a turn due west. It travels 72 miles west. How far is the car from its starting poin
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

93.7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented as a right angled triangle. The distance between the final point and the starting point is the hypotenuse.

We need to find the hypotenuse. We can use Pythagoras rule:

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

where opp = opposite side to the angle considered

adj = adjacent side to the angle considered

This implies that:

x^2 = 60^2 + 72^2\\\\x^2 = 8784\\\\x = \sqrt{8784} \\\\x = 93.7 miles

The car is 93.7 miles far from its starting point.

which qaudratic equation is equivalent to (x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0 a. (u+2)^2+5(u+2)-6=0 where u=(x-2) b. u^2+4+5u-6=0 where u= (x-2)
Lisa [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2)² + 5(x + 2) - 6 = 0

Using the substitution u = x + 2 , then the equation can be expressed as

u² + 5u - 6 = 0 → D
