Consider the figure below. abraham cut regular pentagon abcde into quadrilateral begc. which of the following statements is true about quadrilateral begc? (picture included)

Let 'n' be the number of side of a regular polygon each angle are equal and sum of  each angle equal to (n-2)×180. ∴For a regular pentagon have five equal side, n=5 ∴ sum of each angle = (n-2)×180=3×180 = 540. and ecah angle = 540÷5=108°. Therefore ∠BCG = 108° and ∠ABC =108° Here BE is one of the diagonal of regular pentagon ABCDE. BE divide ∠ABC in 1:2 ratio Therefore ∠ABE : ∠CBE = 36: 72∴ ∠GCB + ∠CBE = 108° +72°=180°

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

step-by-step explanation:

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
