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.

Complete 5^9/5^3=5^a
Goryan [66]

Answer:

6=a

Step-by-step explanation:

5^9/5^3=5^a

We know that b^c = b^d = b^(c-d)

5^9/5^3=5^a

5^(9-3) = 5^a

5^6 = 5^a

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

6=a
