A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle and another regular hexagon is circumscribed about the same circle. What is the ratio

4/3 of the area of the larger hexagon to the area of the smaller hexagon

Let the sides of the interior hexagon be 2 cm long, then this hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles of side = 2.

The area of this hexagon = 6 * 1 * sqrt3 = 6 sqrt3 ( as the triangle is made up of 2 60-30-90 triangles)

The exterior hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles with altitude 2 and the area = 6 * 2 * (2 / sqrt3 ) = 24 / sqrt3

area exterior hex / interior hex = 24 / sqrt3 * 1 / 6sqrt3 = 24/18

= 4/3

Required ratio = 4/3 answer

2x^2=9-3x <br> Find the factors
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

x = -3, $ \frac{3}{2} $

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is: $ 2x^2 = 9 - 3x $

This can be written as: $ 2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0 $

To solve a quadratic equation of the form $ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $ we use the formula:

           $ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} $

Here, a = 2; b = 3; c = - 9

Therefore, the roots of the equation are:

$ x = \frac{- 3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(2)(-9)}}{2(2)} $

$ \implies x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{81}}{4} $

$ \implies x = \frac{-3 \pm 9}{4} $

We get two values of 'x', viz.,

x = $ \frac{-3 + 9}{4} $ and $ \frac{- 3 - 9}{4} $

$ \implies x = \frac{6}{4} \hspace{5mm} \& \hspace{5mm} \frac{-12}{4} $

⇒ x = -3, 3/2

Since the factors of the quadratic equation is asked, we write it as:

(x + 3)(x - $ \frac{3}{2} $) = 0

because, if (x - a)(x - b) are the factors of a quadratic equation, then 'a' and 'b' are its roots.

Multiply (x + 3) and (x - $ \frac{3}{2} $ to see that this indeed is the given quadratic equation.

What is the slop intercept form of a line that passes threw (4,-4) and (8, -10)
BigorU [14]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes, so we can find the slope:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 4, -4)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 8, -10)\\m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-10 - (- 4)} {8-4} = \frac {-10+ 4} {4} = \frac {-6} {4} = - \frac {3} {2}

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {3} {2} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

-4 = - \frac {3} {2} (4) + b\\-4 = - \frac {12} {2} + b\\-4 + 6 = b\\b = 2

Finally, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {3} {2} +2

ANswer:

y = - \frac {3} {2} +2
