Answer:
15.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a regular polygon is calculated as
A =
pa ( p is the perimeter and a the apothem )
Here side of regular pentagon is 3 ft, thus
perimeter = 5 × 3 = 15, so
A = 0.5 × 15 × 2.06 ≈ 15.5 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
(a)

or, via symmetry

____________
(b)
By the chain rule:

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
<span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

Differentiating with respect to theta

2/3 is the slope
____________
(c)
"</span><span>distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3
A</span>ngle θ and r are related via <span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time

"Adjacent" means next to each other. "Perpendicular" means at an angle of 90 degrees.
<span>Rectangles (this includes squares) have adjacent perpendicular sides. So do right triangles.</span>
