Since the given hexagon is a regular hexagon all it's sides will be of equal length. Now, we know that the Area of any regular hexagon is given by:

A=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a^2

Where A is the area of the regular hexagon

a is the side length of the regular hexagon

Also, it's Perimeter is given by:

P=6a

Thus, all that we need to do is to find the side length of any one of the sides and to do that let us have a look at at the data of vertices points given and find out which points are definitely adjacent to each other and are also easy to calculate.

A quick search will yield that D(8, 0) and E(4, 0) are definitely adjacent to each other.

Please check the attached file here for a better understanding of the diagram of the original regular hexagon. Points D and E indeed are adjacent to each other.

Let us now find the distance between the points D and E using the distance formula which is as:

d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

Where d is the distance.

(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of points D and E respectively. (please note that interchanging the values of the coordinates will not alter the distance d)

Applying the above formula we get:

d=\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(0-0)^2} =\sqrt{4^2}=4

\therefore d=4

We know that this distance is the side length of the given regular hexagon.

\therefore d=a=4

Now, if the sides of the given regular polygon are reduced by 40%, then the new length of the sides will be:

a_{small}=4-\frac{40}{100}\times 4=2.4

Thus, the area of the smaller hexagon will be:

A_{small}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a_{small}^2=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} (2.4)^2\approx14.96 unit squared

and the new smaller perimeter will be:

P_{small}=6a_{small}=6\times 2.4=14.4 unit

Which are the required answers.

WITCHER [35]

Based on the information given about corruption, it is vital for the business to showcase how investors look to invest and create job opportunities.

<h3>What is corruption?</h3>

Corruption simply means a form of dishonesty or a criminal offense undertaken by a person or an organization.

In order to enhance the probability that the foreign government would accept your proposal, it is important to convince the foreign government will need to showcase how investors look to invest and create job opportunities and its potential impact on GDP and wages.

Find the probabilities for a standard normal random variable Z.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the attachment showing std normal curve symmetrical about y axis.

Equal probabilities on either side of the mean thus the total probability to the right of mean is 0.50

From the table we can find that

a) P(Z>2.5) = 0.5- area lying between 0 and 2.5

= 0.5-0.4938 =0.0062

b) P(1.2<z<2.2) = F(2.2)-F(1.2)

= 0.9861-0.3849

=0.6012

frez [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

log(7·x + 7) = 1

7·x + 7 = 10^1

7·x = 10 - 7

x = 3/7 = 0.4285714285
