The volume of the slice is 40 in³. The volume of the remaining cake would be 197.014 in³.

<h3>What is a regular hexagon?</h3>

A regular hexagon can be defined as a closed shape consisting of six equal sides and six equal angles.

Here we have two regular hexagons

one top small hexagon cake with a side of length = 3 in, height = 3 in

One big hexagon cake, side of length = 4 in, Height = 4 in

A slice cut such that it removes a side segment is equivalent to an equilateral triangle with a side

length = length of hexagon side

The length of the side of the removed equilateral triangle side

Top small cake slice triangle side = 3 in.

Area of surface of small slice = 1/2 x b x h = 1/2 x 3 x 3 x sin 60

                                                = 9√3/ 4

The volume of a small slice  

=  Area of surface small slice × Height of small cake

= 9√3/ 4  x 3

= 11. 69

Big cake slice triangle side = 4 in.

Area of the surface of big slice = 1/2 x 4 x 4 x sin 60

                                                    = 4√3

The volume of big slice =  Area of the surface of big slice × Height of big slice

= 16√3

= 28

The total volume of slice = Volume of small slice + Volume of big slice

Total volume of slice = 12 in³ +28 in³ = 40 in³

For the small cake,

the remaining volume = 5 x 11.69 = 58.45

For the big cake

the remaining volume = 5 x 27.71 = 138.56

Total volume remaining cake

= 58.45 in³ + 138.56 in³ = 197.014 in³

a = Length of side

h = Height of hexagon

The volume of each slice is,

= a^2 x h x √3/4

For the small cake, we have

a = 3 in.

h = 3 in.

The volume of small slice = a^2 x h x √3/4

                                   = 9 x 3 x √3/4

                                   = 27√3/4

For the big cake, we have

a = 4 in.

h = 4 in.

Volume of big slice =  a^2 x h x √3/4

                                = 16 √3

The total volume of slice = Volume of small slice + Volume of a big slice

Total volume of slice = 27√3/4 + 16 √3

The total volume of the slice = 39404 in³.

Wewaii [24]
If we plug in 0 for x, we can receive the data for the year 1982. Doing so shows us that the Rural area was 1,417.4 million acres and the total area was 1,839.4 million acres. Therefore, we can conclude that the majority of the area of the United States was rural in 1982.

There are 8 members on a board of directors. if they must form a subcommittee of 6 members, how many different subcommittees are
Shtirlitz [24]
1. Given a group of n people. There are C(n, r) ways of forming groups of r out of n.

2. Where C(n, r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

3. For example, given {Andy, John, Julia}. We want to pick 2 people to give a gift: we can pick {(Andy, John), (Andy, Julia), (John, Julia)}, so there are 3 ways. So we can list and count.

4. Or we could do this with the formula C(3, 2)=\frac{3!}{2!(1)!}= \frac{3*2*1}{2*1}=3

5. C(8, 6)=\frac{8!}{2!6!}= \frac{8*7*6!}{2*6!}= \frac{8*7}{2}= 4*7=28

So there are C(8,6)=28 ways of chosing 6 out of 8 people to form the subcommittees. <span />

Which of the following statements represents a mathematical expression?
4vir4ik [10]
A because there is a difference between a expression and equation. Expressions don’t have a equal sign or an answer. But equations have an equal sign and an answer. So because everything else has an answer or equal sign, the correct answer would be A. Hope this helps!
