Consider the regular pentagon ABCDE, with center (of mass) O.

The central angle O is a complete angle, so its measure is 360°.

It is divided into 5 equal parts, so each of them has a measure of 360°/5=72°.

If we rotate the pentagon, with point O as the center of the rotation, we can map A to any of the other points.

The smallest angle of rotation is the angle which mas A to E, 72°.

Answer: 72°

Q10 Please help me solve this….

Answer:

C. 0.23°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

$r=\frac{1}{32}v^{2}sin(2\theta)$

Re-arranging this equation (multiply by 32 on both sides and divide by $v^{2}$ on both sides gives us:

$\frac{32r}{v^{2}}=sin(2\theta)$ or

$sin(2\theta)=\frac{32r}{v^{2}}$

Substituting for, r and v we get

$sin(2\theta)=\frac{(32)5000}{4500^{2}}=0.00792\\\\\theta=sin^{-1}(0.0079)=0.4527\\\\\theta=\frac{{0.4527}}{2}=0.2263\approx0.23$

Alex and his friend Kim made a one-gallon pitcher of lemonade because it was so hot. They drank 5 glasses that each help 2 cups

natulia [17]

we know that

4 cups of lemonade = 1 quart

1 gallon of lemonade = 4 quarts

1 gallon of lemonade = 16 cups

Step 1

find the amount of lemonade that's left expressed in cups

5 glasses * 2 cups = 10 cups

16 cups - 10 cups = 6 cups.

There are 6 cups of lemonade left.

Step 2

find the amount of lemonade that's left expressed in quarts:

4 cups = 1 quart.

(6 cups divided by 4 cups will equal the quarts.)

6/4=1.5

6 cups = 1.5 quarts.

There are 1.5 quarts of lemonade left.

Step 3

find the amount of lemonade that's left expressed in gallons

4 quarts = 1 gallon.

(1.5 quarts divided by 4 quarts will equal the gallon)

1.5/4=0.375

1.5 quarts = 0.375 gallon.

There is 0.375 gallon left of lemonade.

What is the function, domain and range of {(1,1) (2,2) (3,5) (4,10) (5,15)}?

guapka [62]

This is a function because each x value has its own y value.

The domain is all the x values : 1,2,3,4,5

The range is all the y values: 1,2,5,10,15
