I think its C or D... I could be wrong.

Answer 1

Well lets see if this pentagon is equilateral....We have 2 sides that are same, another two that are alike and one that is different....with this said would is be equilateral ?

Note: An equilateral polygon is a polygon that has all sides equal.

Answer 2

ohh so not all of the sides are equal. the bottom is not equal to the top

Answer 3

That is correct so it would not be equilateral ^^

Answer 4

Now we need to determine if this is equiangular....can you write a statement if it is equiangular or not?

Answer 5

Not really. I'm bad at statements sometimes.

Answer 6

Well it wont be an official statement as to where your teacher will see ^^ but basically with question like these we would analyze as to what we are seeing and simply write them down....

Here is how I do mine...I first analyze the shape...

I see that two angles are the same while another two are different but the same to each other and one angle that is different from the rest and is quite obtuse....

Next I would apply what I know from determining what I typed down....

Well since these angles are not equal to each other and an equiangular hexagon is suppose to have each angle the same that would mean that it would not be equiangular...

And I'm done! :)

Whole personal statment:

I see that two angles are the same while another two are different but the same to each other and one angle that is different from the rest and is quite obtuse.Well since these angles are not equal to each other and an equiangular hexagon is suppose to have each angle the same that would mean that it would not be equiangular.

Answer 7

would it be A then? im starting to think its A.

Answer 8

It would actually be neither...since we first determined that it is not equilateral and I determined that it is not equiangular...

Oooo and I meant to say that it is a pentagon not a hexagon...

Answer 9

ohhh Okay. I was debating whether it was D or A

Answer 10

So you were able to understand as to why it was neither?

Answer 11

yes
