Answer:

  (b)  1.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...

   A = 1/2Pa

For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...

  A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'

__

Solving for the apothem, we find ...

  a = A/(3s)

For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...

  a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches

The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.

Use the figure below to find the value of y and each angle shown.
igomit [66]

5y - 16 + 3y + 20 = 180 degrees

Combine like terms on the left side

8y + 4 = 180

Subtract 4 from both sides.

8y = 176

Divide both sides by 8

y = 22

Plug 22 into y for each angle.

3y + 20 = 3(22) + 20 = 66 + 20 = 86 degrees

5y - 16 = 5(22) - 16 = 110 - 16 = 94

The angle opposite 5y - 16 also equals 94 because they are vertical angles.

The angle opposite of 3y + 20 also equals 86 because they are vertical angles

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 with the sum of two dice, given that at least one of the
olga55 [171]
Conditional probablility P(A/B) = P(A and B) / P(B). Here, A is sum of two dice being greater than or equal to 9 and B is at least one of the dice showing 6. Number of ways two dice faces can sum up to 9 = (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) = 10 ways. Number of ways that at least one of the dice must show 6 = (1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 6), (6, 5), (6, 4), (6, 3), (6, 2), (6, 1) = 11 ways. Number of ways of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 and at least one of the dice showing 6 = (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) = 7 ways. Probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 given that at least one of the dice must show a 6 = 7 / 11
