the link doesn't work
oh ok
here's the pic
thats the one
The regular pentagon breaks up into 5 identical triangles (all of the triangles have the same area). Calculate the area of one triangle, then multiply by 5 to get the area of the pentagon. Area of triangle = 0.5*base*height |dw:1610560206596:dw|
|dw:1610560295038:dw|
thats correct
what da answer
If the base is 22.3 and height is 15.4, whats the area of the triangle? |dw:1610560497272:dw|
|dw:1610560557344:dw|
|dw:1610560640998:dw|
7.7 times 5 equals 38.5
not sure how you're getting those numbers
you should use 22.3 and 15.4
oh ok
Its 858.55
The area of one triangle is 0.5*b*h 0.5*22.3*15.4 171.71 So the area of five of the triangles is 5*171.71 = 858.55 which is the area of the pentagon. You have the correct answer
i do
