### Sketching the Feasible Region for Given Inequalities

To determine the region that corresponds to the given inequalities, we'll follow these steps:

1. **Identify the inequalities:**
   * \( x + y \geq 5 \)
   * \( x \leq 10 \)
   * \( y \leq 8 \)
   * \( x \geq 0 \)
   * \( y \geq 0 \)

2. **Graph each inequality on the coordinate plane:**
   - **Inequality 1: \( x + y \geq 5 \)**
     - This represents the region above or on the line \( x + y = 5 \).
   - **Inequality 2: \( x \leq 10 \)**
     - This represents the region to the left of or on the line \( x = 10 \).
   - **Inequality 3: \( y \leq 8 \)**
     - This represents the region below or on the line \( y = 8 \).
   - **Inequality 4: \( x \geq 0 \)**
     - This indicates the region to the right of or on the y-axis.
   - **Inequality 5: \( y \geq 0 \)**
     - This indicates the region above or on the x-axis.

3. **Determine the feasible region:**
   - The feasible region is the intersection of the areas defined by all given inequalities.
   - The points that define the corners (intersection points) of this region are the vertices.

4. **Find the vertices:**
   - Set up each pair of equations to determine intersection points:
     - \( x + y = 5 \) and \( x = 0 \): \( (0, 5) \)
     - \( x + y = 5 \) and \( y = 0 \): \( (5, 0) \)
     - \( x + y = 5 \) and \( x = 10 \): \( (10, -5) \)
     - \( x + y = 5 \) and \( y = 8 \): \( (-3, 8) \)
     - \( y = 8 \) and \( x = 10 \): \( (10, 8) \)
   - Note that some intersection
