A circle is inscribed in a regular hexagon with side length 10 feet. What is the area of the shaded region? Recall that in a 30

– 60 – 90 triangle, if the shortest leg measures x units, then the longer leg measures x units and the hypotenuse measures 2x units.
(150 – 75π) ft2
(300 – 75π) ft2
(150 – 25π) ft2
(300 – 25π) ft2

Answer:

The correct answer is the first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the circle is inscribed in the hexagon their center points coincide. Now, draw lines from the center to the vertices of the hexagon, as the attached figure shows.

Notice that the 6 triangles are equals, because the hexagon is regular, and all are isosceles where the sides of the hexagons are their basis. Moreover, the angles that are opposite to the basis are all equals and their measure is 60 degrees. Thus, all triangles are equilateral.

With this facts we can calculate the area of the hexagon

A_h = 6A_t,

where A_t stands for the area of one of the equilateral triangles. We know that an equilateral triangle with length of the side a, its area is

A_t = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2 .

In this case a=10 ft, thus

A_t = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}10^2 = 25\sqrt{3}.

Then, the area of the hexagon is A_h = 6A_t = 150\sqrt{3}.

Now, the height of one equilateral triangle is the radius of the circle, and it has length h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a, where a stands for the length of the side of the equilateral triangle. Then, h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}10 =5\sqrt{3}.

The area of the circle is A_c = \pi r^2= 75\pi.

Answer:

Part 1: 31x+25=180

part 2: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 180° on a straight line, which is the base/ bottom line of the traingle (indicated by the arrow on the end).

so, 180-151= 29

29° is the third angle on the traingle.

now, there are 180° in a triangle, therefore to find an equation for x:

29+20x-3+11x-1= 180 (adding up all the angles and making it equal to 180°)

now simplify this equation to get:

31x+25=180 (PART 1)

to find x simply solve the equation:

31x=180-25

31x= 155

x= 155/31

x=5 (PART 2)

What is the quotient of the fractions below?<br> 1/3 divided by 5/8
svetlana [45]
<h3>Answer:  8/15</h3>

Work Shown:

x = (1/3) divided by (5/8)

x = (1/3) * (8/5)

x = (1*8)/(3*5)

x = 8/15

Just look up the name of your worksheet then after the name type in answer key. If that doesn't work just download or search google "desmos calculator" and type in your points. (if you're on a IOS/ a phone or iPad then download the app. if you on a computer or something of that nature then teach it on google)
