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.

(I'll leave cm out to save space and time in the answer)

the perimeter is 500, there are 5 sides. so on average a side will be 100.

that's already the important key idea.

it's indeed 100 for the third side, the second will be 10 less, the fourth 10 more (making the 2and and the 4th side 200 in sum, and therefore still 100 on average).

repeat this for the 1. and 5. side and we get:

80

90

100

110

120

if you need just tell me and i will come to the rescue.

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
