Please help me. What type of polygon would a peice of an icosahedron at a vertex create? Explain why.

Regular Pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular icosahedron is a twenty-faced polyhedron, each face being an equiangular triangle.  Each vertex is joined together by 5 faces, therefore the polygon formed at each vertex is a regular pentagon.

We can also figure out the number of faces at each vertex using Euler's formula

F+V=E+2

F=number of faces = 20

E=number of edges = number of triangular faces * edges/triangle /2

(since each edge is shared between two faces)

= 20*3/2

=30

Number of vertices

= E+2-F = 30+2-20 = 12

So number of edges meeting at each vertex

= 30 / (12/2) = 30/6 = 5

(12/2 because each edge joins two vertices).

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
