Given a regular hexagon, what are the measures of the angles formed by (a) two consecutive radii and (b) a radius and a side of
the polygon?
1 answer:
Answer:
a) 60°
b) 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular hexagon can be broken down into 6 equilateral triangles.
*** Note: Attached picture shown.
a)
The angle between two consecutive radii would be taken as EO and OD.
Since all of these 6 angles (of 6 triangles) create a circle, the sum is 360. So each angle (between two radii) would be 360/6 = 60°
b)
To find angle between side and radius of a polygon, let's take the radii as EO and side as ED.
Since we already found the angle between 2 radii to be 60, we have two angle left of a triangle (same size, let's call it x). We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180, thus we can write:
60 + x + x = 180
60 + 2x = 180
2x = 180 - 60
2x = 120
x = 120/2
x = 60°

Answer: If the left side and the right side of the equation are equal, the equations has infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The options are not clear, so I will give you a general explanation of the procedure you can use to solve this exercise.
The Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line is the following:
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
For this exercise you need to remember that, given a System of Linear equations, if they are exactly the same line, then the System of equations has Infinitely many solutions.
If you have the following system:
You can simplify the second one:
Then, both equations are the same line.
By definition you can also write the systemf making both equations equal to each other:
So, if the left side and the right side are equal, the equations has infinitely many solutions.
