Question

In the diagram​ below, what is the relationship between the number of pentagons and the perimeter of the figure they​ form? Represent this relationship using a​ table, words, an​ equation, and a graph. Let x=the number of pentagons. Let y=the perimeter of the figure.

idk if i can add a screenshot of the diagram but if not ill try to explain it the best i can.

Answer 1

idk how to add an attachment but basically there are 3 different diagrams of pentagons. diagram one has just one pentagon with 3 on each side. diagram two is two pentagons attached together by a side ( they don't have the 3's ). diagram three has three pentagons attached together by their sides ( again they don't have the 3's ). the table looks like this:

number of |perimeter, |ordered
pentagons,x | y |pair (x,y)

Answer 2

here's the table:

Number of | Perimeter | Ordered |
Pentagons | (y) | Pair |
(x) | | (x,y) |
1 | 15 | (1, 15) |
2 | 24 | (2, 24) |
3 | 33 | (3, 33) |
