hihi jus need the answer!

1. Do not ping the Moderators, unless someone is breaking the rules.
2. Do not ping the Helper Moderators, unless there is a conflict between helpers.
3. Do not ping other members randomly for help.
4. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
5. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
6. If the Helper has answered your question, remember to thank them with the Mathematics Ranks bot and close the thread with:

+close
Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

oh.

@white imp i guess if someone consents and if they are willing to giving an answer is technically outside the domain of this server, but in the help threads we prioritize walking a user through a process rather than just giving an answer

unless you have work to show that you did for this question that you want to verify

[white imp]

oh yeah ofc walkthrough would be perf

im jus sayin if like they dont bother then an answer is also jus fine lmao 😭

[lusty lichen]

ok

[lusty lichen]

well, what do we know about the shaded area?

i.e., what is it algebraically equivalent to?

okay

here is hint @white imp

[white imp]

oh sorry i was trying the ques again lol

[lusty lichen]

consider that we have shaded=big circle-pentagon+small circle, and that unshaded=pentagon-small circle

[lusty lichen]

its fine

[white imp]

yea

[lusty lichen]

would you mind showing your work?

[white imp]

ok

wait a mom

ent

[lusty lichen]

in addition, shaded+unshaded=big circle

[white imp]

yea idk the pentagon area thing

cuz its not in the syllables so we aren’t supposed to know abt it

[lusty lichen]

maybe you can figure it out with intuition

[rotund quest]

can you use sin cosine rule?

[lusty lichen]

?

[white imp]

dont think so?”

idk

havent thought of that

[white imp]

maybe

hope so

[lusty lichen]

👍

try it, and show your work when you are done

[blissful bloom]

Its a regular Pentagon, try finding the area of it.

[thick tinsel]

You still need help?

@white imp

[silver vigil]

ah yes igcse exam question i remember doing this for my mock

[timid maple]

Area of pentagon is approximately 110.11

[lusty lichen]

let OP figure that out, please

[lusty lichen]

also, reference this

**When helping people, please do not dump the full solution. **
Remember that these people are trying to learn concepts, and our goal should be to reinforce them. Giving them a solution will not help.

**Instead, give them hints and guide them toward the correct solution. **
You can ask things like "what part did you get stuck on?" or "what have you tried so far?" or give them a small starting hint. This ensures better learning. For more tips, reach out to Schlaumau (@schlaumau).

[lusty lichen]

you do also realize that your pentagon area is somehow greater than the larger circle???

[timid maple]

Think like this, (Area of Larger CCirccle - Area of Pentagon)/ 2 = Area of Smaller circle

[silver vigil]

it is

you dont need the area of a pentagon

just split the hexagon into 6 congruent triangles

and use sine and cosine and area rule if needed

@lusty lichen am i yapping

[lusty lichen]

??

[lusty lichen]

its a pentagon

[silver vigil]

mv split the pentagon into 5 congruent triangles

btw i did this and can confirm its a hard question- it was a 6 marker i think

yeah

so @white imp imma do this on paper and then send ss ask any questions on stuff u dont understand alr?

dw i suffered the same stuff as you lmfao

[white imp]

OH SOZ i just saw this message

[white imp]

yuh sure tysm! !!!

[silver vigil]

issok

[white imp]

na fr im so done alr w edexcel and these goofy ques

[silver vigil]

IKRRRRR

dont get me started on arithmetic series

😭

[white imp]

real

[silver vigil]

and theyre always the 6 markers so you know youre gonna have to lock in for the last 20 mins

[lusty lichen]

the problem here is that the angles will be 72-54-54

[silver vigil]

will they??

yeah whats wrong with that

@lusty lichen

[lusty lichen]

theyre not nice

[silver vigil]

this is a calculator paper

[lusty lichen]

oh.

[silver vigil]

the gcse has 1 non-calc which only asks u to remember basic trig stuff like sin(60)

but igcse has 2 calcs (only 2 papers) which have the weirdest shit ever

like bro i had to pull the distance theorem from the depths of my memory 😭

@white imp what paper is this btw

[white imp]

man idk

my frien jus sent me thsi and said do this

with no context

and i got confused and my frien had no answer so

[silver vigil]

ask them what paper dis is

[thick tinsel]

It has to be calculator

Good luck with law of sines without one

But anyways

Anyways first step is to find the radius of the large circle

You can do this by splitting the pentagon into 5 congruent isosceles triangles

Try and find the radius of the circle and come back with your answer

[timid maple]

Think like this, (Area of Larger CCirccle - Area of Pentagon)/ 2 = Area of Smaller circle

[silver vigil]

yeah i did it

bruh

[thick tinsel]

I was talking to op
