Step-by-step explanation:
Short Answer: y = 36°
Remark
What an interesting question!! The first thing you have to do is find out what the interior angle of a regular pentagon is. After you have done that, you can calculate y.
Method.
The exterior angles of a regular figure add up to 360°.
Step One
Find out the size of the exterior angles of a regular pentagon.
There are 5 such angles. They add up to 360°
5x = 360 Divide by 5
x = 360 / 5
x = 72°
Step Two
Find out the value of the interior angles of a pentagon.
Method
The interior and exterior angles add up to 180°
Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180°
Exterior angle = 72 degrees
72° + Interior Angle = 180° Subtract 72 from both sides.
Interior Angle = 180° - 72°
Interior Angle = 108°
Step Three
Solve for y.
There are 3 tiles each with an angle of 108° that are placed together. So y + 3 interior angles = 360°
y + 3*interior angles = 360°
y + 3*108 = 360
y + 324 = 360 Subtract 324 from both sides.
y = 360 - 324
y = 36°
Answer:
The approximate distance is 15416 miles....
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given:
A satellite is 19,000 miles from the horizon of earth.
The radius is 4,000 miles.
Lets say that BC =x
AO = OB = 4,000 miles
AC = 19,000 miles
The tangent from the external point forms right angle with the radius of the circle.
So in ΔABC
(OC)² = (AC)²+(OA)²
where OC = x+4000
AC = 19,000
OA = 4000
Therefore,
(x+4000)² = (19,000)² +(4,000)²
Take square root at both sides:
√(x+4000)² = √(19,000)² +(4,000)²
x+4000 =√361000000+16000000
x+4000 = √377000000
x+4000 = 19416.48
x= 19416.48 - 4000
x = 15416.48
Therefore the approximate distance is 15416 miles....
Answer:
No, he is not correct because the constant in his answer should have been 21 not 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Therefore, the correct answer is the fourth; he should have put 21.
