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)

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?<br> 20,50, 125...
loris [4]

Answer:

a(n) = 20*2.5^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 50 is 2.5 times 20, and that 125 is 2.5 times 50.  Thus the common factor is 2.5.  The formula for the nth term is

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n - 1)  => a(n) = 20*2.5^(n - 1)

How would I solve this Rational Equation? <br><br>Solve for all values of x.
Nesterboy [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to put these in the form f(x) = 0. We can do that by subtracting the right side. Common factors can be cancelled from numerator and denominator, provided they are not zero.

  \dfrac{7}{x+3}+\dfrac{3}{x-3}-\dfrac{x}{x-3}=0\\\\ \dfrac{7(x-3)+(x+3)(3-x)}{(x+3)(x-3)}=0\\\\\dfrac{(x-3)(4-x)}{(x-3)(x+3)}=0\\\\ \dfrac{4-x}{x+3}=0\qquad x\ne3\\\\x=4 \qquad\text{equate the numerator to zero, add $x$}

_____

If you leave the numerator as (x-3)(4-x), then there are two values of x that make it zero. Because x=3 makes the equation "undefined", it cannot be considered to be a solution.
