X+24*(1/x)=11
x+24/x=11
x²+24=11x
x²-11x+24=0
(x+3)(x-8)=0
x=-3, x=8
checking : 8+24*(1/8)=11, 8+3=11 correct
-3+24*(1/-3)=-3-8=-11 incorrect
number is 8, reciprocal is 1/8

Use the rectangle hexagon with side length 10 meters to fill in the missing information

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$A_h=150\sqrt{3}\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Regular Hexagon</u>

For the explanation of the answer, please refer to the image below. Let's analyze the triangle shown inside of the hexagon. It's a right triangle with sides x,y, and z.

We know that x is half the length of the side length of the hexagon. Thus

$x=5 m$

Note that this triangle repeats itself 12 times into the shape of the hexagon. The internal angle of the triangle is one-twelfth of the complete rotation angle, i.e.

$\theta=360/12=30^o$
