Answer:

AD = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two bases of the two given triangles are parallel the triangles are similar.

Triangle BDE is similar to Triangle BAC

From this the following proportion can be set up.

BE / BC = BD/BA

BE = 8

BC = 8+12 = 20

BD = 3

BA = 3 + x     where x = DA

8/20 = 3/(3+x)               Cross Multiply

8(3 + x) = 3 * 20            Remove the brackets on the left. Combine Right

24 + 8x  = 60                Subtract 24 from both sides

8x = 60 - 24                  Combine the right

8x = 36                          Divide by 8

x = 36/8

x = 4.5

But x = AD

Calculate the area of the regular pentagon below:
djverab [1.8K]
Assuming the vertex of the triangle shown is the center of the pentagon, and the line segment shown is an altitude of the triangle:

If we join the center of (the circumscribed circle and of) the pentagon to the 5 vertices, 5 isosceles triangles are formed, all congruent to the one shown in the figure. It is clear that these triangles are congruent, so to find the area of the pentagon, we find the area of one of these triangles and multiply by 5.

The base of the triangle is 22.3 in, and the height is 15.4 ins, thus the area of the pentagon is:

5(Area triangle)=5*[(22.3*15.4)/2]=<span>858.55 (square inches).


Answer: </span>858.55 (square inches).
