Find the area of a regular hexagon with a base of 15 and an apothem of 20.

1 answer:

7 0

Area of hexagon = base * (apothem/2) * 6 = 3(base*apothem)
=3*15*20
=900 square units.

However, a hexagon consists of 6 equilateral triangles in which the apothem is 0.866 times the base, meaning that the apothem is shorter than the base.
Perhaps the base is 20 and apothem 15. The answer will come to be the same though.

You have to pay to fix the sink. They are charging you $75 for parts and

Alika [10]

Answer: y = 20x+75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The cost (y) must be equal to the product of the cost per hour of installation (20) and the number of hours that it takes (x); plus the fixed cost of parts and installation (75).

Mathematically speaking:

y = 20x+75

The length of a bridge on a map is 1.5 cm. What is the actual length of the bridge in meters if the map is drawn at a scale of 1

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of a bridge on a map is 1 cm,then the actual length = 40,000

If the length of a bridge on a map is 1.5 cm,then the actual length= 1.5 * 40000

= 60000.0 = 60,000 m
