1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:

(n-2) × 180°

"n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).

2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:

(5-2)x180°=540°

3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:

α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

8α=540°

α=540°/8

α=67.5°

4. Finally, the larger angle is:

2α=2(67.5°)=135°

5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

Given two vectors a⃗ =4.00i^+7.00j^ and b⃗ =5.00i^−2.00j^ , find the vector product a⃗ ×b⃗ (expressed in unit vectors). what is

FinnZ [79.3K]

The vector product of $\boxed{a \times b = - 43\hat k}$ and the magnitude of $a \times b$ is $\boxed{43}.$

Further explanation:

Given:

Vector a is $\vec a = 4.00\hat i + 7.00\hat j.$

Vector b is $\vec b = 5.00\hat i - 2.00\hat j.$

Explanation:

The cross product of a \times b can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}a \times b &= \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\hat i}&{\hat j}&{\hat k} \\4&7&0\\5&{ - 2}&0 \end{array}}\right|\\&= \hat i\left( {0 - 0} \right) - \hat j\left( {0 - 0} \right) + \hat k\left( { - 9 - 35} \right)\\&= 0\hat i - 0\hat j - 43\hat k\\&= - 43\hat k\\\end{aligned}$

The vector can be expressed as follows,

$a \times b = - 43\hat k$

The magnitude of $a \times b$ can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}\left| {a \times b} \right| &= \sqrt {{0^2} + {0^2} + {{\left( { - 43} \right)}^2}}\\&= \sqrt {{{43}^2}}\\&= 43\\\end{aligned}$ 43404

The vector product of $\boxed{a \times b = - 43\hat k}$ and the magnitude of $a \times b$ is $\boxed{43}.$

Which graph represents the function of f(x) = the quantity of 9 x squared plus 9 x minus 18, all over 3 x plus 6

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer is the option C

graph of $3x$ minus $3$ , with discontinuity at negative $2$ , negative $9$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=\frac{9x^{2}+9x-18}{3x+6}$

Simplify

$f(x)=9\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{3(x+2)}$

$f(x)=3\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{(x+2)}$

Step 1

Convert to a factored form the numerator

$x^{2}+x-2=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+x=2$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+x+0.25=2+0.25$

$x^{2}+x+0.25=2.25$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+0.5)^{2}=2.25$

Square root both sides

$x+0.5=(+/-)1.5$

$x=-0.5(+/-)1.5$

$x=-0.5+1.5=1$

$x=-0.5-1.5=-2$

so

$x^{2}+x-2=(x-1)(x+2)$

Step 2

Simplify the function f(x)

$f(x)=3\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{(x+2)}=3\frac{(x-1)(x+2)}{(x+2)}$

The domain of the function f(x) is all real numbers except the number $x=-2$

Because the denominator can not be zero

$f(x)=3\frac{(x-1)(x+2)}{(x+2)}=3(x-1)=3x-3$

$f(x)=3x-3$ ------> with a discontinuity at $x=-2$

$f(-2)=3(-2)-3=-9$

The discontinuity is at point $(-2,-9)$

On a coordinate plane, square P Q R S is shown. Point P is at (4, 2), point Q is at (8, 5), point R is at (5, 9), and point S is

sergey [27]

Answer:

(D)The midpoint of both diagonals is (4 and one-half, 5 and one-half), the slope of RP is 7, and the slope of SQ is Negative one-sevenths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P is at (4, 2),
Point Q is at (8, 5),
Point R is at (5, 9), and
Point S is at (1, 6)

Midpoint of SQ $=\frac{1}{2}(1+8,5+6)=(4.5,5.5)$

Midpoint of PR $=\frac{1}{2}(4+5,2+9)=(4.5,5.5)$

Now, we have established that the midpoints (point of bisection) are at the same point.

Two lines are perpendicular if the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other.

In option D

Slope of RP =7

Slope of SQ $=-\dfrac17$

Therefore, lines RP and SQ are perpendicular.

Option D is the correct option.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$b_2 = -2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21$

Required

Determine the value of T

$\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * \frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21 * 2$

$(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 42$

Divide through by 6

$4.5 + b_2 = 42/6``$

$4.5 + b_2 = 7$

$b_2 = 7 - 4.5$

$b_2 = -2.5$
