Answer:

ST = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pentagons are similar, the ratio between a pair of sides of one pentagon is the same ratio for the similar pair of sides of the second pentagon, so we have that:

XY / YZ = ST / TU

32 / 36 = (4c + 2) / (5c + 2)

8 / 9 = (4c + 2) / (5c + 2)

8*(5c + 2) = 9*(4c + 2)

40c + 16 = 36c + 18

4c = 2

c = 0.5

So the length of ST is:

ST = 4c + 2 = 4*0.5 + 2 = 4

A train travels a distance of 60 km at uniform speed. If the speed of the train was reduced by 10 kmh-1, the time taken to trave

tester [92]

Answer:

Initial speed is 32 m/s

At uniform speed, acceleration is 0, (a = 0).

When speed reduced, (v - u) = 2.78 ms-¹, t = 1800 sec, s = 60 ,000 metres.

From first equation of motion:

${ \boxed{ \bf{v = u + at}}} \\ { \tt{(v - u) = at}}$

substitute:

${ \tt{2.78 = (a \times 1800)}} \\ { \tt{acceleration = 0.0015 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}$

from second equation of motion:

${ \boxed{ \bf{s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2} }}}$

substitute:

${ \tt{60000 = 1800u + ( \frac{1}{2} \times 0.0015 \times {1800}^{2}) }} \\ { \tt{1800u = 57570}} \\ { \tt{u = 32 \: m {s}^{ - 1} }}$

Explain how the GCF is used to factor an expression?

scoundrel [369]

When factoring, it's easier to "pick out" the GCF first because it makes it simpler to factor even further. Otherwise, you will be troubled with lots of numbers and variables, so it will just get confusing.
