Question

Joan is building a sandbox in the shape of a regular pentagon. the perimeter of the pentagon is 35y4 – 65x3 inches. what is the length of one side of the sandbox?

Answer 1

Answer:The perimeter of the pentagon is

35y⁴ – 65x³ The answer is D

We let s as the length of one side of the sandbox. Since the sandbox is a pentagon, it's perimeter is given by

P = 5s

5s = 35y⁴ – 65x³

Solving for s

5s = 5(7y⁴ - 13x³)

s = 7y⁴ - 13x³

The length of one side is 7y⁴ - 13x³

=

Explanation:

Answer 2

The perimeter of the pentagon is
35y⁴ – 65x³

We let s as the length of one side of the sandbox. Since the sandbox is a pentagon, it's perimeter is given by
P = 5s
5s = 35y⁴ – 65x³
Solving for s
5s = 5(7y⁴ - 13x³)
s = 7y⁴ - 13x³

The length of one side is 7y⁴ - 13x³.
