The length of the shortest side of the hexagon is; 41.833 inches

<h3>How to find the perimeter of a Polygon?</h3>

Let the length of the shortest side of the hexagon be x. Now, a hexagon has six sides and if the next side is 10 inches longer than the previous side, then the length of the six sides are;

x, x + 10, x + 20, x + 30, x + 40, x + 50

Perimeter is given as 401 inches. Thus;

x + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 + x + 40 + x + 50 = 401

6x + 150 = 401

6x = 401 - 150

6x = 251

x = 251/6

x = 41.833 inches

1/4x + x = -3+ 1/2x, what is x?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(5 x)/4 = x/2 - 3

Put each term in x/2 - 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 - 3 = x/2 - 6/2:

(5 x)/4 = x/2 - 6/2

x/2 - 6/2 = (x - 6)/2:

(5 x)/4 = (x - 6)/2

Multiply both sides by 4:

(4×5 x)/4 = (4 (x - 6))/2

(4×5 x)/4 = 4/4×5 x = 5 x:

5 x = (4 (x - 6))/2

4/2 = (2×2)/2 = 2:

5 x = 2 (x - 6)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

5 x = 2 x - 12

Subtract 2 x from both sides:

5 x - 2 x = (2 x - 2 x) - 12

5 x - 2 x = 3 x:

3 x = (2 x - 2 x) - 12

2 x - 2 x = 0:

3 x = -12

Divide both sides of 3 x = -12 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-12)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-12)/3

The gcd of -12 and 3 is 3, so (-12)/3 = (3 (-4))/(3×1) = 3/3×-4 = -4:

Answer:  x = -4

What are the x-intercepts of the function f(x)=(x + 1)(x + 4)?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0 , that is

(x + 1)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

The x- intercepts are (- 4, 0 ) and (- 1, 0 )

A cone has a surface area of 200 pi square inches. If the radius of the
Helen [10]

Answer:

20\:\mathrm{in}

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface area of a cone is given by A=\pi r\ell, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and \ell is the cone's slant height.

Solving for \ell:

200\pi=10\pi\ell,\\\ell=\frac{200\pi}{100\pi}=\boxed{20\:\mathrm{in}}

*Note: It is implied that the surface area of 200 pi square inches is lateral surface area and not total surface area, because it is impossible to obtain a total surface area of 200 pi with a radius of 10 inches.
