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

Exact = 50 Approximate = 45
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Approximate of error = 11.11 % (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Exact value = 50

Approximate value = 45

Find:

Approximate of error

Computation:

Approximate of error = [(Exact value - Approximate value)/Approximate value]100

Approximate of error = [(50 - 45)/45]100

Approximate of error = [(5)/45]100

Approximate of error = [0.11111]100

Approximate of error = 11.11 % (Approx.)

SHOW YOUR WORK!!<br><br> What is the distance between point A (-3, -2) and Point B (4, -7)?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: \bold{\sqrt{74}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\text{Use the distance formula: }d_AB=\sqrt{(x_A-x_B)^2+(y_A-y_B)^2}\\where\ (X_A, y_A)=(-3, -2)\\and\ (x_B,y_B)=(4, -7)\\\\\\d_AB=\sqrt{(-3-4)^2+[-2-(-7)]^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{(-7)^2+(5)^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{49+25}\\\\.\quad =\boxed{\sqrt{74}}

The perimeter of a rectangle is dependent on the length of each of its sides. Suppose the base of a rectangle is two more than i
Bezzdna [24]
Perimeter=4h+4

If the base is 2 more than the height, it gives us the equation:
b=h+2

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle can be though of as 2b+2h, so substituting in (h+2) for b from the first equation, we get 2(h+2)+2h.

This can be simplified to be 2h+4+2h or 4h+4

In politics, marketing, etc. We often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t
inessss [21]

Answer: |p-72% |≤ 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

The absolute inequality about p using an absolute value inequality.:

|p-\hat{p}| \leq E , where E = margin of error, \hat{p} = sample proportion

Given:  A poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% .

|p-72% |≤ 4%

⇒    72% - 4% ≤ p ≤ 72% +4%

⇒  68%  ≤ p ≤  76%.

i.e. p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (.
