<h3>Answer:</h3>

12 inches

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

A regular polygon is any 2-D shape where all the sides and angles are congruent.

Regular Hexagon

As denoted by the prefix "hexa-", hexagons have 6 sides and internal angles. The perimeter is equal to all 6 sides added together. However, we know that these sides must be congruent because it is a regular hexagon.

Solving for Perimeter

We can create an equation that describes the perimeter of this shape, with "x" representing the length of one side.

6x = 72

Since all the sides are equal we can use multiplication instead of addition. To solve this equation, divide both sides by 6.

x = 12

This means that all sides must be 12 inches.

If you we''re asked to express the weight in ounces of a ladybug in scientific notation, would the exponent of 10 be positive or

Juliette [100K]

<span>If you were asked to express the weight in ounces of a ladybug in scientific notation, would the exponent of 10 be positive or negative? Justify your response.</span> <span>The exponent of 10 would be positive because the weight is measured and is attributed to a living organism hence, there’s no living organism measured in a negative value. Unless it was used otherwise. </span>

Check each true statement about the number 7- square root 3i

kumpel [21]

Answer:

option-A

option-D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a complex number as

$7-\sqrt{3}i$

we know that whenever we have

$a+bi$

where

a is the real number

b is imaginary number

now, we can verify each statement

option-A:

we can see that

a=7

and

a is the real number

so, 7 will be real number

so, this is TRUE

option-B:

we know that

$b=-\sqrt{3}$

so, imaginary number is $-\sqrt{3}$

while it is mentioned square root 3 is the imaginary part of the number

so, this is FALSE

option-C:

We can see that coefficient of i is b

and

$b=-\sqrt{3}$

so, this is FALSE

option-D:

we know that

'a' and 'b' are sum of real and imaginary number

so, this is TRUE
