I know it's closed but i need help with it now @Chooch146 & @amistre64

@saifoo.khan

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

what's p?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

You have 5 sides that are rectangles and 2 bases that are pentagons the total perimeter of the pent is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Ahh! Perimeter.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

k is the height of a basic triangle that makes up the pentagon, and s is a side of the pentagon: ks/2 is the area of 1 triangle, and there are 5 triangles: 5ks/2 for the entire pent there are 2 pents to account for; 2*5ks/2 = 5ks there are 5 rectangles of area: 6*s

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so, what does that give us?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=30 r 36?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Find the total area, in terms of K there is no K in 30 or 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Surface Area = 5ks + 5(6s) you should be able to determine s ..... and k is the unknown, just simplify to your hearts content

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay thank you that was very helpful. medal for you!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre welcome :) good luck
