Divide the pentagon into five congruent triangles. What is the measure of the interior angle of each triangle at the vertex in the center?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that mean 3*7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the area of a pentagon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2*ap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are A and P?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk but i guess it 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that p is 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 1/2 *ap the formula for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 apothem perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the area of a pentagon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you find the apothem? the perimeter is 25. what is the apothem?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

volume is area of pentagon times height pentagon can split into 5 triangles area of triangle is 1/2*base*height base of triangle is 3 height is 1.5tan(54) AreaTriangle = 3.097 AreaPentagon = 3.097*5 = 15.48 volume = 15.48*7 = 108.39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you so much and it said that round to the nearest cubic centimeter

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

your welcome 108.39 is closer to 108 than 109
