Answer:

TU = 4.5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pentagons are similar, hence the ratios of their similar sides will be equal to a constant.

Hence;

XY/ST = YZ/TU

Given the following

XY = 32

YZ = 36

ST = 4c + 2

TU = 5c + 2

Substitute into the expression as shown;

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

Cross multiply

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

144c + 72 = 160c + 64

144c - 160c = 64 - 72

-16c = -8

c = -8/-16

c = 1/2

Recall that TU = 5c + 2

TU =5(1/2) + 2

TU = 2.5 + 2

TU = 4.5

Hence the length of TU is 4.5units

23) Store A: y=6.30÷2
y=3.15
Store B: y=3.2
Store C: y=3.25x
y=3.25 so Store A sells the cheapest so (A) is the answer

24) the area uses half of the diameter, not the whole diameter. so the answer is 5.5pi^2 (B)

25) 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8 (D)

26) was done correctly and (D) is the correct answer

27) 2 (x-3) +1 =19
2 (x-3) = 19 - 1
(x-3) = 18 ÷ 2
x-3 = 9
x= 9+3
x=12 (D)
