Answer: Well if you were going to think of a circle you can divide it into 4 equal sizes in one of the is equal to two pentagons and a half. If you add all is equal to a loop full of pentagons [which makes 10 pentagons]. Because the ring is made out of regular pentagons, we can work out that each of the interior angles of each pentagon is 108* degrees. By extending the lines that two pentagons share, assuming they will all meet in the middle, it will create a triangle. As we know each angle of a [regular] pentagon is 108* degrees, we know the two base angles of the triangle would equal to 72** which leaves the top angle to be 36 degrees. As [the sum of] angles at a point is 360 degrees, and 36 is divisible by 360, it will make a complete ring. Also, as 360 ÷ 36 = 10, we know that the ring will be made out of 10 pentagons. as formula to calculate the the size of a interior angle of a polygon is (n×180−360)÷n (for n being the number of sides that the polygon has). because the triangle is made by extending the lines, and angles on a line is 180 degrees, 180−108 (an interior angle of a pentagon) =72.
Plug in the x+3 for y.
8x-x+3=12
7x=9
X=1.3
Then, y= -0.25
Answer: x2 + 4x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 2)2 + 7
(x+2)(x+2) + 7
X2 + 2x + 2x + 4 + 7
x2 + 4x + 11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that for each option, you play the same number of games,x
Let y represent the cost of playing x games using option A
Option A is to buy a membership card and pay $2 every time you go to the gym. The membership card costs $20. It means that
y = 20 + 2x
Let z represent the cost of playing x games using option B
Option B is to pay $4 each time you go. It means that
z = 4x
To determine how many games will be played before cost of option A equal to the cost of option B, we would equate y to z. It becomes
20 + 2x = 4x
4x - 2x = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2 = 10
It will take 10 games for both to be the same
