Each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side. If the perimeter of this pentagon is 500 cm, find the lengths of the sides.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
