Answer:

The measure of radius c is 12.36 cm

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A regular pentagon is shown in diagram.

As we know the sum of angle of pentagon is 540°

It is a regular pentagon. Therefore, each angle is equal.

[tex]\angle B=\dfrac{540}{5}=108^\circ[/tex]

OB would be angle bisector of angle B

Thus, [tex]\angle OBC = 54^\circ[/tex]

In triangle OBC, ∠C=90°

[tex]\sin\theta = \dfrac{OC}{OB}[/tex]

[tex]\sin54^\circ=\dfrac{10}{c}[/tex]

[tex]c=10\cdot\csc54^\circ[/tex]

[tex]c=12.36\text{ cm}[/tex]

Hence, The measure of radius c is 12.36 cm

The measure of radius c rounded to the nearest hundredth is 12.36

To find the measure of the radius c ,we have to find the angles of regular pentagon first,

Given : A regular pentagon shown, we know that each angle of a regular pentagon is equals to [tex]108\textdegree[/tex] ie. [tex]\angle A=\angle B =\angle C=\angle D=\angle E=108[/tex]°

What is a regular pentagon?

A polygon whose all five sides are equal, here if we sum each angle ie.

[tex]\angle A+ \angle B+\angle C+\angle D+\angle E=540[/tex]°

or, [tex]\angle A= \dfrac{540}{5}=108\textdegree[/tex]

According to the diagram OB will be the angle bisector of [tex]\angle[/tex]B [tex] \dfrac{108}{2}= \angle OBM= 54\textdegree [/tex]

Here, in the triangle OBM,[tex]\angle M[/tex] is a right angle = [tex]90\textdegree[/tex]

Now we use Trigonometric ratio to solve further

[tex] \sin\theta=\dfrac{OM}{OB}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=54\textdegree= \angle B[/tex]

Calculate height h.

[tex]\sin54\textdegree= \dfrac{p}{h}[/tex]  

[tex]\sin 54\textdegree= \dfrac{10}{h}\\ \\ \csc54\textdegree= \dfrac{h}{10}\\ \\ h=\csc54\textdegree\cdot10[/tex]

[tex]h=12.36 cm[/tex]

Therefore the measure of radius c is 12.36cm
