Describe how to find the measure of an angle of a regular pentagon.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The individual internal angle of a regular pentagon measures 108 degrees.

Step by step solution

01

Define the number of sides

Since a pentagon has 5 sides, we can assign \( n = 5 \) according to our formula.
02

Apply formula

Apply the defined value into the formula \[ ((n-2) * 180) / n \]
03

Calculate

Substitute the value of \( n = 5 \) into the formula. The result is \[ ((5 - 2) * 180) / 5 = 108 ° \]

Research non-Euclidean geometry and plan a seminar based on your group's research. Each group member should research one of the following five areas: a. Present an overview of the history of the people who developed non- Euclidean geometry. Who first used the term and why did he never publish his work? b. Present an overview of the connection between Saccheri quadrilaterals and non-Euclidean geometry. Describe the work of Girolamo Saccheri. c. Describe how Albert Einstein applied the ideas of Gauss and Riemann. Discuss the notion of curved space and a fourth dimension. d. Present examples of the work of M. C. Escher that provide ways of visualizing hyperbolic and elliptic geometry. e. Describe how non-Euclidean geometry changed the direction of subsequent research in mathematics. After all research has been completed, the group should plan the order in which each group member will speak. Each person should plan on taking about five minutes for his or her portion of the presentation.

A scale model of a car is constructed so that its length, width, and height are each \(\frac{1}{10}\) the length, width, and height of the actual car. By how many times does the volume of the car exceed its scale model?

In the diagram for Exercises \(17-19\), suppose that you are not told that \(\triangle A B C\) and \(\triangle A D E\) are similar. Instead, you are given that \(\overleftrightarrow{E D}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{C B}\) are parallel. Under these conditions, explain why the triangles must be similar.
