Answer:

Part 1) a=108^o

Part 2) b=24^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of angle a

we know that

The formula to calculate the measure of the interior angle of a regular polygon is equal to

\frac{180^o(n-2)}{n}

where

n is the number of sides of the regular polygon

For the regular pentagon in the figure

n=5

substitute in the formula

a=\frac{180^o(5-2)}{5}

a=\frac{180^o(3)}{5}

a=108^o

Part 2) Find the measure of angle b

Remember that a regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles

so

In the figure , the length of the side of the two smaller equilateral triangles is equal to the length of the side of the regular pentagon

therefore

The triangle in white of the figure is an isosceles triangle

The measure of the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle is equal to

360^o-(108^o+60^o+60^o)=132^o

Remember that

The sum of the interior angles of triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

2b+132^o=180^o

solve for b

2b=180^o-132^o

2b=48^o

b=24^o

Answer:

(-2,-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2(4x-3)=16

3x-8x+6=16

-5x=10

x=-2

Plug back in

y=4(-2)-3

y=-8-3

y=-11

Write the standard form of the quadratic function whose graph is a parabola with the given vertex and that passes through the gi
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The formula for this quadratic function is x*2 +6x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the vertex and one point of a parabola it is possible to find the quadratic function by the use of this

y= a (x-h)*2 + K

Quadratic function looks like this

y= ax*2 + bx + c

So let's find the a

y= a (x-h)*2 + K where

y is 13, x is 0, h is -3 and K is 4

13= a (0-(-3))*2 +4

13=9a +4

9=9a

9/9=a

1=a

The quadratic function will be

y= 1(x+3)*2 + 4

Let's get the classic form

(x+3)*2 = (x+3)(x+3)

(x*2+3x+3x+9)

x*2 +6x+13

f(0) = 13

Andy, who loves to cook, makes apple cobbler for his family. The recipe (serves 6) calls for 5 3/4 pounds of apples, 6 3/4 cups
ch4aika [34]
Apples : 5 3/4 * 2 1/2 = 23/4 * 5/2 = 115/8 = 14 3/8 lbs

flour : 6 3/4 * 2 1/2 = 27/4 * 5/2 = 135/8 = 16 7/8 cups

margarine : 1/8 * 2 1/2 = 1/8 * 5/2 = 5/16 cups

sugar : 3 5/8 * 2 1/2 = 29/8 * 5/2 = 145/16 = 9 1/16 cups

cinnamon : 2 * 2 1/2 = 2/1 * 5/2 = 10/2 = 5 teaspoons
