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)

The sunrise café gets tea bags of 1,000. If the café charges $1.75 for each cup of tea, and each cup of tea gets 1 tea bag, how
Setler [38]

Answer:

You would do $1.75 x 1,000. That would be 1$,750. Then, you would take away that $95 because they spent buying the box of tea bags, and their total would be $1,750 - $95 = $1,655.

How can finding the slopes of MN and AB help in proving that MN is the midsegment of triangle ABC?
Mademuasel [1]
Mid-segment and bottom side of the triangle is always parallel to each other, and parallel lines must have same slopes, so if their slopes are equal, then MN would be mid-segment of side AB in Triangle ABC

Hope this helps!

(-3,2), (11,-1) <br><br> Give the slope between the two points.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Look below! Make brainliest as well please!

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find a slope is with this equation:  (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So in this case, we do (-1-2)/11-(-3)) and we get (-3)/11+3 which equals (-3)/(14). If you can simplify, make sure to!
