3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4

Answer:
No, a regular pentagon does not tessellate.
In a tessellation, all the angles at a point have to add to 360 degrees, as this means there is no overlap, nor are there gaps. To find the interior angle sum of a pentagon, we use the following formula:
(n-2)*180 (where n is the number of sides)
We plug in the number of sides (5) and get:
Angle sum = (5–2)*180
Angle sum = 3*180
Angle sum = 540
Regular pentagons have equal sides and equal angles, so to find the size of the interior angle of a pentagon, we divide the angle sum by 5 and get 108 degrees for every angle.
As I said before, the angles at a point need to add up to 360, so we need to know if 108 divides evenly into 360. If it does, the shape tessellates, and, if it doesn’t, the shape does not.
360/108 = 3.33333…
This means that a regular pentagon does not tessellate.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
42 ft, 60 ft, 84 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the shortest side , then the other 2 sides are 2x and x + 18, so
x + 2x + x + 18 = 186 , that is
4x + 18 = 186 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
4x = 168 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 42
Then lengths of sides are
x = 42 ft
2x = 2 × 42 = 84 ft
x + 18 = 42 + 18 = 60 ft
