Answer:

384√3 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a regular 6 sided polygon

To find it's area you have to use the following formula

<h3>      1/2 x perimeter x apothem</h3>

<em>Perimeter = the sum of the lengths of all the sides </em>

<em>Suppose length of one side = x</em>

<em>Apothem = a segment that joins the polygon's centre to the midpoint of any side that is perpendicular to that side = 8√3</em>

<em />

Since the polygon have 6 sides so

perimeter = 6x

<h3>x = 2(8√3)/√3</h3>

x = 2(8)

x = 16

perimeter = 6(16) = 96 in

plug values in the formula of area

<h3>1/2 x 96 x 8√3</h3>

Answer:

= 384√3 In²

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon is a hexagon ; thus the angle subtended by each side at the center will be given by;

θ = 360/6

 = 60°

Therefore; we can calculate the length of each side;

Tan θ = opp/Adj

Tan θ = x /8√3

 Tan 30 = x /8√3

Therefore; 1/√3 =x /8√3

x = 8√3× 1/√3

   = 8

The length of each side is 8 × 2 = 16 In

The area of the polygon will be;

Area of one triangle multiplied by the number of a triangle;

= 1/2 × 16 × 8√3 ×6

<h3><u>= 384√3 In²</u></h3>

What's the derivative and critical points of s(t)=3sin(2(t-pi/6))+5?
Anna007 [38]

If s(t) = 3 sin(2 (t - π/6)) + 5, then the derivative is

s'(t) = 3 cos(2 (t - π/6)) • 2 = 6 cos(2 (t - π/6))

The critical points of s(t) occur at the values of t where s'(t) is zero or undefined. s'(t) is continuous everywhere, so we only need worry about the first case. We have

6 cos(2 (t - π/6)) = 0

cos(2t - π/3) = 0

2t - π/3 = arccos(0) + nπ

(where n is any integer)

2t - π/3 = π/2 + nπ

2t = 5π/6 + nπ

t = 5π/12 + nπ/2

If you're only looking for t in the interval [0,2π), then you have four critical points at t = 7π/12, t = 11π/12, t = 17π/12, and t = 23π/12.

Please help me solve question 2
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

solution: ( 3 , 6 )

\sf y =6

\sf x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf y = \frac{2}{3} x+4

\sf 2x+3y = 24

make y the subject in equation 2:

\sf 2x+3y = 24

\sf 3y = 24-2x

\sf y = \frac{24-2x}{3}

insert this in equation 1:

\sf \frac{24-2x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} x+4

\sf \sf \frac{24-2x}{3} =\frac{2x+12}{3}

\sf (24-2x) = (2x+12)

\sf -2x-2x=12-24

\sf -4x=-12

\sf x =3

solve for y:

\sf y = \frac{24-2x}{3}

\sf y = \frac{24-2(3)}{3}

\sf y =6
