Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the pentagon has one line of symmetry. This will be a vertical line through C, thus
CD = BC = x + 1 and ED = AB = 2x + 3
Perimeter = AE + ED + DC + CB + BA
= 4x + 2x + 3 + x + 1 + x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 10x + 8
Perimeter is given as 21, thus
(b)
10x + 8 = 21 (subtract 8 from both sides )
10x = 13 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = = 1.3

Answer:
a) Incorrect
b) $201
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
$5826 need to be distributed equally among 29 employees . Hence we need to divide 5826 by 29 to know the amount each one will get. Since 58=29*2 and 26≈2, The manager can estimate that each one of the employee will get $201 as bonus. So his reason to estimate was correct but the estimated amount was incorrect.
b)
Each employee will get
= 200.89
Hence Each one will get
$201 rounded to nearest whole number
