You can calculate polygon area with only apothem OR side length.

apothem only
area = apothem^2 * 6 * tan (180/6)
area = 10.4^2 * 6 * 0.57735
area = 108.16 * 3.4641 
area = 374.677056 square yards

side length only
area = 6 * 12^2 * / 4*tan(30)
area = 864 / 4 * 0.57735
area = 864 / 2.3094 
area = 374.1231488698 square yards

If apothem and side length were given with more precision, the answers would be closer.

The cost to mail a package is $7 for the first 2 pounds and 30 cents for each additional ounce. Which of the following functions

TiliK225 [7]

The cost to mail a 2-lb package is $7.
The cost to mail a 2-lb, 1 oz package is $7+$0.30(1).
That to mail a 2-lb, 2 oz package is $7+$0.30(2) = $7.60.

Following this pattern, the general formula is f(x) = $7 + $0.30x, where x represents the number of ounces OVER 2 lb.

Tan(x+pi) + 2sin(x+pi)=0 can you help prove this and make the left side equal the right?

vladimir1956 [14]

This is not an identity but an equation. You're supposed to find the values of $x$ for which this is true. It is *not* true for all values of $x$ .

To see why:

$\tan x$ has period $\pi$ , which means $\tan(x+\pi)=\tan x$ .

The angle sum identity for $\sin x$ says that

$\sin(x+\pi)=\sin x\cos \pi+\cos x\sin\pi=-\sin x$

$\tan(x+\pi)+2\sin(x+\pi)=\tan x-2\sin x$

By definition of $\tan x$ ,

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}$

and so

$\tan x-2\sin x=\sin x\left(\dfrac1{\cos x}-2\right)$

which is only 0 if either $\sin x=0$ (which only happens for certain values of $x$ ) or $\dfrac1{\cos x}-2=0\implies\cos x=\dfrac12$ (which also only happens for certain values of $x$ ). It's these values of $x$ you want to find.

$\sin x=0$ whenever $x$ is a multiple of $\pi$ , i.e. $x=n\pi$ for any integer $n$ .

If $0\le x$ , then $\cos x=\dfrac12$ is true for $x=\dfrac\pi3$ and $x=\dfrac{5\pi}3$ . Then to account for all other possible values, we add a multiple of $2\pi$ , so that $x=\dfrac\pi3+2n\pi$ or $x=\dfrac{5\pi}3+2n\pi$ for integers $n$ .
