Answer:

volume ≈ 930 cm³ (nearest cubic cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prism which is a pentagon is regular. The apothem which is a line drawn from the center to any side of the pentagon is 4 cm. The height of the prism is 16 cm.

The volume of a prism = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height of the prism

The base of the prism can be divided into 5 congruent triangles.But the base of the triangles is unknown.

The sum of interior angle of a pentagon is 540°. That means each angle is 108° . The triangle divide the angle into 2. Making the 2 base angle as 54° each. The last angle of the triangle at the center is 72°(remember sum of angle in a triangle is 180° which is 54° + 54° + 72° = 180°) .

The angle form the center can be divided by the line of height of the triangles. The angle will then be 36°. Using tangential ratio half of the length of the base of the triangle can be known. Therefore,

tan 36° = opposite/adjacent

tan 36° = opposite/4

opposite = 4 tan 36°

The full base of the triangles = 2(4 tan 36°)

area of each triangle = 1/2 × 2(4 tan 36°) × 4 = 16 tan 36°

Base area of the prism(pentagon) = 5 × 16 tan 36° = 80 tan 36°

Volume of the prism = Bh

where

h = 16 cm

B = 80 tan 36°

volume =  80 tan 36° × 16 = 1280  tan 36° = 1280  × 0.726542528

volume = 929.974435847  cm³

volume ≈ 930 cm³ (nearest cubic cm)

what is the slope intercept form of the linear equation with a graph that passes through (-2,2) and is perpendicular to the grap
qwelly [4]

Hey there!!

Steps to get into equation which is perpendicular:

  • Change the slope
  1. The slope of a perpendicular line is always negative reciprocal.
  • Take the point and get that into point-slope form.
  1. y - y = m ( x - x )
  • Convert this equation into slope-intercept form.

'm' is the slope.

We have the slope as 1/3

The perpendicular slope would be -3.

Point slope:

The point = (-2,2)

y - 2 = -3( x - (-2) )

y - 2 = -3(x+2)

y - 2 = -3x -6

Adding 2 on both sides:

y = -3x - 4

<em>Hence, the equation would be : </em>

<u><em>y = -3x - 4 </em></u>

Hope it helps!

A tour director collected $258 for 13 tour packages tour packages a cost $18 into a package requires $22 how many of each tour p
Lena [83]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 13

 

$18 + $22 = $258

OR

18X+22Y=258

 

18X + 22(13 - X) = 258

 

18X + 286 - 22X  = 258

 

286 - 4X  = 258

 

-4X= 258 - 286

 

-4X = -28

 

X= 7

Y=6

 7 of the X tour  packages & 6 of the Y tour  packages
