a hexagon inscribed in a circle has three consecutive sides each of length 3 and three consecutive sides each of length 5. the c

hord of the circle that divides the hexagon into two trapezoids, one with three sides each of length 3 and the other with three sides each of length 5, has length equal to $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. find $m n$.

According to given conditions, m+n is equal to 409.

Consider the diagram below.

In the hexagon ABCDEF, let

AB = BC = CD = 3;

DE = EF = FA = 5;

Arc BAF is equal to one-third of the circle's circumference.

Hence, ∠BCF = ∠BEF = 60°;

Similarly, ∠CBE = ∠CFE = 60°;

Let the point of intersection of BE and CF be P, BE and AD be Q and CF and AD be R.

∴ Δ EFP and Δ BCP are equilateral, and so Δ PQR is also equilateral.

Also, ∠ BAD and ∠ BED subtend the same arc and so do ∠ ABE and ∠ ADE.

∴ Δ ABQ is similar to Δ EDQ

\frac{AQ}{EQ}  = \frac{BQ}{DQ} = \frac{AB}{ED} = \frac{3}{5}

Also,

\frac{\frac{AD - PQ}{2} }{PQ + 5} = \frac{3}{5}  

and \frac{3 - PQ}{\frac{AD + PQ}{2} }  = \frac{3}{5}

On solving these simultaneous equations, we get AD = 360/49

∴ m + n = 409.

She cooked 25 cookies because 5/6 =25/30 because you multiply each number by 5 and it becomes 25/30. Hope this helped
