the assumption being that the endpoints are two continuous points in the pentagon, Check picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+[3-4]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(3-4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{9+1}\implies d=\sqrt{10}~\hfill \stackrel{\stackrel{~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{5 sides}}{}}{\textit{perimeter of the pentagon}}}{5\sqrt{10}}$

A standard letter-sized piece of paper has a length and width of 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.

Area = Length x width

So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.

So we have

$\texttt{Area after n folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{\texttt{number of folds}}}$

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²

Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is

Number of folds = 2

$\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{2}}\\\\\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{93.5}{4}=23.375inch^2$

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

I need help with a math question but apparently everyone is dead today..

Gwar [14]

The answer is D. I’m assuming this is surface area so here’s my explanation:) ok so the area of the triangle is 6 (4x3 divided by 2) and when you add the other triangle that’s 12. Ok so we have 12 so far. Then the area of the bottom rectangle is 24 (3x8). Then the area of the side rectangle is 32 (4x8). THEN the top rectangle’s area is 40 (8x5). When you add the numbers up (12+24+32+40) you get 108! And of course dont forget the cm2. ( centimeters squared ). :) I hope this helps

To solve the equation 5sin(2x)=3cosx, you should rewrite it as___.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

$5\sin(2x)=3\cos(x)$

To do so, we can rewrite the equation.

Recall the double-angle for sine:

$\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)$

By substitution:

$5\left(2\sin(x)\cos(x)\right)=3\cos(x)$

Distribute:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)=3\cos(x)$

We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)-3\cos(x)=0$

And factor:

$\cos(x)\left(10\sin(x)-3\right)=0$

Hence, our answer is A.

*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
