9 - (a - 7)

Note that - = -1

First, distribute - 1 to all terms within the parenthesis

-1(a - 7) = -a + 7

9 - a + 7

Combine like terms

9 + 7 = 16

-a + 16, or A. 16 - a is your answer

hope this helps

A pentagonal prism has a height of 9 feet, and each base edge is 3 feet. Find the volume. Round your answer to the nearest hundr

OLga [1]

Height of the pentagon = 9 ft

Edge of base = 3 ft

$area of pentagon = \frac{s^{2}n}{4 tan\left ( \frac{180}{n} \right )}$

s is the length of any side = 3

n is the number of sides = 5

tan is the tangent function calculated in degrees

$\\ \\\\area of pentagon = \frac{3^{2}(5)}{4 tan\left ( \frac{180}{5} \right )}\\\\\\area of pentagon = \frac{9(5)}{4 tan\left ( 36 \right )}\\\\area of pentagon = \frac{45}{4 ( 0.7265 )}\\\\area of pentagon = \frac{45}{2.906}\\\\area of pentagon = 15.4852$
