A square has a diagonal of length of 5. What is the length of a side of the square???

Note: The diagonal of a square is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose legs are sides the of the square. Thus... 5 is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. We know 1:1:√2 To find the lengths of the other legs we must divide our hypotenuse by √2 (think about why we do this. If we had an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of √2 we could divide this by √2 to get the length of the legs 1.) Thus 5/√2 --> simplify by multiple top and bottom by √2 which equals 5√2/2 length of legs = 5√2/2 ** remember the rule of multiple roots (ex: √2 x √2 = 2)

Regular pentagon ABCDE has a side length of 28. Regular pentagon FGHIJ has a perimeter of 60 and an area of about 248. What is the ratio of the are of ABCDE to the area of FGHIJ?

To find the measure of a side of regular pentagon FGHIJ, we can divide the perimeter (60) by the number of sides on a pentagon (5). 60/5 = 12 We now know the side length of one pentagon is 12 and one is 28. Thus the ratio would be 28:12 --> sampled to 7:3. Now to find the area of ratios between to similar pentagons we square the ratio of sides. 7^2:3^2 = 49:9 49.9 is the ratio of areas
