Area is calculated as length times width.
A = lw
Is the area and length are known, then you can plug in their values and isolate w to find the width.
I find it easiest to convert to decimals rather than using mixed numbers.
<span>8 ¾ = 8.75 (area)
</span><span>3 ½ = 3.5 (length)
Now let's plug in the values.
8.75 = 3.5w
To isolate w, just divide both sides by 3.5.
8.75 / 3.5 = 2.5
This means w = 2.5.
So the width is 2.5 feet.
Now convert the decimal back to a mixed number.
2.5 = 2 </span>½

So the answer to this question is that the width is 2.5, or 2 ½.

Hope this helps!

A regular hexagon is shown.
zhuklara [117]

The central angle of the hexagon is equal to 60º.

Therefore, the trigonometric relationship for the radius is given by:

cos (30) = \frac{a}{c}

Where,

a: apothema of the hexagon

c: Hexagon radius.

Clearing the radio we have:

c = \frac{a}{cos (30)}

Substituting values:

c = \frac{12}{cos (30)}  c = 13.85

Rounding to the nearest whole number we have:

c = 14 in

Answer:

The measure of the radius, c, rounded to the nearest inch is:

C. 14 in.

An isosceles triangle has slant height s and angle t opposite the base. Find a formula for the base length b in terms of the ang
Mars2501 [29]

OK, let's try with no figure.  We have an isosceles triangle sides s,s, and b.

Opposite b is angle t.

Draw the altitude h to bisect t.  We have two right triangles, legs b/2 and h, hypotenuse s.  The angle opposite b/2 is t/2 so

sin(t/2) = (b/2)/s = b/2s

So we arrived at the first part,

b = 2s sin(t/2)

The area of a triangle with sides s,s and included angle t is

A = (1/2) s² sin t
