The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon. The figure shows a regular hexagon with center C. An apothem is shown as a dashed se

gment perpendicular to an edge and is labeled as a. A dashed line segment joins the center with the left vertex of the edge perpendicular to the apothem. This segment has a length of 14 centimeters. The angle formed by the edge and the segment measures 60 degrees. What is the area of the base of the pyramid? Enter your answer in the box. Express your answer in radical form.

Answer: 294√3

Explanation:


1) The described hexagon has these featrues:
a) 6 congruent equilateral triangles whose side lengths measure 14
b) height of each triangle = apotema = a
c) the area of each triangle is base × a / 2 = 14 × a / 2 = 7a


2) a is one leg of a right triangle whose other leg is 14 / 2 = 7, and the hypotenuse is 14.

3) Then you can use Pythagorean theorem fo find a:

14² = 7² + a² ⇒ a² = 14² - 7² = 147 ⇒ a = √ 147 = 7√3

4) Therefore, the area of one triangle is: 14 × 7√3  / 2 = 49√3

5) And the area of the hexagon is 6 times that: 6 × 49√3 = 294√3

Yolanda spends 82/3 hours per month playing soccer. Approximately how many hours does she play soccer in a year?
Vesnalui [34]
328 because 82/3 multiplied by 12 is 328 and you do that because there's 12 months in a year and if you spend 82/3 hours per month playing soccer than you would multiply that by 12 which gives you 328 hours.

Compete the equatuon descibing how x and y are related
Minchanka [31]
I honestly don’t even know how to explain this- but ik that 3 should be alright to type in bc if you were to write it on a graph you would move 1 unit to the right and 3 units up from there based on the coordinates after the origin (0,0).

We have seen that isosceles triangles have two sides of equal length. The angles opposite these sides have the same measure. Use
Naddik [55]

Question has missing figure, the figure is in the attachment.

Answer:

The measure of ∠1 is 65°.

The measure of ∠2 is 65°.

The measure of ∠3 is 50°.

The measure of ∠4 is 115°.

The measure of ∠5 is 65°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

We have an isosceles triangle which we can named it as ΔABC.

In which Length of AB is equal to length of BC.

And also m∠B is equal to m∠C.

ext.m∠C= 115°(Here ext. stands for exterior)

We have to find the measure of angles angles 1 through 5.

Solution,

For ∠1.

∠1 and ext.∠C makes straight angle, and we know that the measure of straight angle is 180°.

So, we can frame this in equation form as;

\angle1+ext.\angle C=180\°

On putting the values, we get;

\angle 1+115\°=180\°\\\\\angle1=180\[tex]\therefore m\angle2=65\°-115\°=65\°[/tex]

Thus the measure of ∠1 is 65°.

For ∠2.

Since the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

So, m\angle1=m\angle2

Thus the measure of ∠2 is 65°.

For ∠3.

Here ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 are the three angles of the triangle.

So we use the angle sum property of triangle, which states that;

"The sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°".

\therefore \angle1+\angle2+\angle3=180\°

Now we put the values and get;

65\°+65\°+\angle3=180\°\\\\130\°+\angle3=180\°\\\\\angle3=180\°-130\°=50\°

Thus the measure of ∠3 is 50°.

For ∠4.

∠4 and ∠2 makes straight angle, and we know that the measure of straight angle is 180°.

So, we can frame this in equation form as;

\angle2 +\angle 4 =180\°

Substituting the values of of angle 2 to find angle 4 we get;

65\°+ \angle 4 = 180\°\\\\ \angle 4 = 180\°-65\°\\\\\angle 4= 115\°

Thus the measure of ∠4 is 115°.

For ∠5.

∠4 and ∠5 makes straight angle, and we know that the measure of straight angle is 180°.

So, we can frame this in equation form as;

\angle4 +\angle 5 =180\°

Substituting the values of of angle 4 to find angle 5 we get;

115\°+ \angle 5 = 180\°\\\\ \angle 5 = 180\°-115\°\\\\\angle 5= 65\°

Thus the measure of ∠5 is 65°.

Hence:

The measure of ∠1 is 65°.

The measure of ∠2 is 65°.

The measure of ∠3 is 50°.

The measure of ∠4 is 115°.

The measure of ∠5 is 65°.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

I'm assuming that % means $:

8.95*2 = 17.9

23.65 - 17.9 =  5.74

The cost of the paint was $5.74
