Answer:

314 in²  (nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Radius of a regular polygon</u>: The distance from the <u>center</u> of the polygon to any vertex.  The radius of a hexagon is equal to the length of one side.

Therefore, from inspection of the given diagram:

  • radius = 11 in  ⇒  side length = 11 in

To find the area of a regular polygon, we first need to calculate the apothem.   The <u>apothem</u> is the line drawn from the center of the polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides.

\textsf{Length of apothem (a)}=\dfrac{s}{2 \tan\left(\frac{180^{\circ}}{n}\right)}

where:

  • s = length of one side
  • n = number of sides

Given:

  • s = 11 in
  • n = 6

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for a:

\implies \textsf{a}=\dfrac{11}{2 \tan\left(\frac{180^{\circ}}{6}\right)}=\dfrac{11\sqrt{3}}{2}

<u>Area of a Regular Polygon</u>

\textsf{A}=\dfrac{n\:s\:a}{2}

where:

  • n = number of sides
  • s = length of one side
  • a = apothem

Given:

  • n = 6
  • s = 11
  • \textsf{a}=\dfrac{11\sqrt{3}}{2}

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for A:

\implies \sf A=\dfrac{6 \cdot 11 \cdot \dfrac{11\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}

\implies \sf A=314.3672216...

\implies \sf A=314\:\:in^2\:\:(nearest\:whole\:number)

Y=x+2<br> Y=x-1<br> How many solutions does the system of equations have
Mkey [24]

Answer:

the system has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

substract both equations and the result will be:

y - y = x - x + 2 + 1

0  = 3   is incompatible, so, no solution

What is the least prime number greater than 50?
uysha [10]
A prime number is a number that has only two factors: 1 and itself
For example, the number 7 has two factors: 1,7 This makes 7 a prime number
Since the number has to be greater than 50, we can go to the next whole number; 51
51 has four factors, 1,3,17,51 This is not our prime number
52 is even so obviously it's not prime because you can divide by two
53 has only two factors; 1,53 This means that its prime and the answer is 53 :)

Helppppp pls im stuck on thi one problem :(
Ray Of Light [21]

First, find the simplified ratio of the given ratio:

Number of pirates: 22

Number of ships: 2

Divide 22 with 2 to find the ratio: 22/2 = 11

For every ship there is, there will be 11 pirates.

Now, find the ratio for the other questions:

IF there are 5 ships: 5 x 11 = 55

If there are 5 ships, there will be 55 pirates.

If there are 11 ships: 11 x 11 = 121

If there are 11 ships, there will be 121 pirates.
