2. Construct pentagons on the sides of the right triangle. Use the regular polygon tool to construct a pentagon (5-sided figure) on each side of the right triangle. (Be careful about the order in which you select the first two vertices of the regular polygon. Select them in the order that makes the pentagon appear on the outside of the right triangle.) 3. Conjecture a relationship between the pentagon areas. Use the area measuring tool and click on the three pentagons to display their areas. Take a screenshot and write a caption describing the relationship between the areas of the three pentagons.
