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.

Solve: -2/3 a - 6 = 12 what is a

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a = - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

- $\frac{2}{3}$ a - 6 = 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

- $\frac{2}{3}$ a = 18 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 2a = 54 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a = - 27

The Sanchez family drove 132 miles in 3 hours before lunch. Then they drove 240 miles in 5 hours after lunch.

lilavasa [31]

The formula for speed is the total distance traveled over time. We shall calculate the 2 speeds individually- before and after lunch. Afterwhich, we shall add them together and divide by 2 to get the average.
Before lunch s = 132 mi / 3 hr = 44 mi/hr
After lunch s = 240 mi / 5 hr = 48 mi/hr

Ave s= 48 + 44 / 2
Ave s= 46 mi/hr

Therefore the correct answer is A.
