The central angle of the hexagon is equal to 60º.

Therefore, the trigonometric relationship for the radius is given by:

$cos (30) = \frac{a}{c}$

Where,

a: apothema of the hexagon

c: Hexagon radius.

Clearing the radio we have:

$c = \frac{a}{cos (30)}$

Substituting values:

$c = \frac{12}{cos (30)} c = 13.85$

Rounding to the nearest whole number we have:

$c = 14 in$

Answer:

The measure of the radius, c, rounded to the nearest inch is:

C. 14 in.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

A regular hexagon is shown. Hexagon is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon. The total of the internal angles of hexagon is 720°. The two-dimensional shape has 6 sides: 6 vertices and 6 angles. We can find the shape of a hexagon in a honeycomb and a football etc. A hexagon is an example of a polygon, or a shape with many sides. The hexagon is the strongest shape known because hexagonal patterns are prevalent in nature due to their efficiency.

What is the measure of the radius, c, rounded to the nearest inch? Use the appropriate trigonometric ratio to solve.

The central angle = 60º.

So the trigonometric relationship for the radius is:

$cos30 = \frac{a}{c}$

Where,

$a$ is apothema of the hexagon, $c$ is hexagon radius.

By clearing the radio, we have:

$c = \frac{a}{cos30}$

Then by substituting values:

$c = \frac{12}{cos30} = 13.85$

By rounding to the nearest whole number we have:

$c = 14 inch$

5. In the diagram shown below, BC is drawn tangent

Tatiana [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(2) 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, the angle at the tangent is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

∠CBD = (arc BD)/2 = 144°/2

∠CBD = 72°

<em>Additional comment</em>

Consider a point X anywhere on long arc BD. The inscribed angle at X will have half the measure of short arc BD, so will be 144°/2 = 72°. This is true regardless of the position of X on long arc BD. Now, consider that X might be arbitrarily close to point B. The angle at X is still 72°.

As X approaches B, the chord XB approaches a tangent to the circle at B. Effectively, this tangent geometry is a limiting case of inscribed angle geometry.

A rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at th

Mrac [35]

Answer:0.246ft/s

Step-by-step explanation: when the the worker starts moving and stops 10 feets away from lateral rope connecting the load, it forms a right angle triangle as see in the pix.

V = s/t ... equ 1

S= distance traveled by worker while pulling the rope = 10 ft

V = velocity of worker = 2ft/s

T = time taken the worker to move 10 ft = time taken for the load to move up = 5seconds

Use Pythagoras theorem to determine distance from pulley to new position of worker

Square root of (40^2 + 10^2) = 41.23ft

Distance traveled by load = D = 41.23 - 40

=1.23ft

Speed of load = D/ t...equ2

Substituting D and the into equ2

S.l = speed of load = 1.23/5 =0.246ft/s
