the ratio of the sides of two similar pentagons is 5: 9. if the area of the larger pentagon is 429.3 cm2, then the area of the
smaller pentagon is cm2. (a pentagon has 5 sides)
enter a number answer only.

132.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of 2 similar figures = a : b, then the

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here the ratio of sides = 5 : 9, thus

ratio of areas = 5² : 9² = 25 : 81

Let x be the area of the smaller pentagon then by proportion

= ( cross- multiply )

81x = 10732.5 ( divide both sides by 81 )

x = 132.5

Area of smaller pentagon is 132.5 cm²

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
