Wouldnt it be 4 im pretty sure i did the math right i hope this works can you answer mine?
40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.
Answer:
15/17
Step-by-step explanation:
You can calculate cosine by doing adjacent / hypotenuse so cos x° = 15/17.
Answer:
(b) 1.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2Pa
For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...
A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'
__
Solving for the apothem, we find ...
a = A/(3s)
For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...
a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches
The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.
