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.

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

Nasser invested $550 at 6% simple interest for 5 years. What was his investment worth after 5
kirill [66]

Answer:

B. $715

Step-by-step explanation:

By multiplying your starting value, in this case $550, and your (simple) interest, 6%, or by 1.06 as 0.06 being your interest value and the 1.00 accommodating your starting value you will multiply, $550 × 1.06 = $583. Repeat these steps for however many years you are account for, in this case, five years. Giving you a total of $715

*PLEASE ANSWER DIFFICULT QUESTION* What is the area of the polygon?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Option 4, 64 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon in the shape of a star can be made to be easier to find the area of by cutting it into triangle. For all the "point edges" of the star, we can cut them in half from the vertex to create two right-angled triangles at each edge.

The formula of the area of a triangle is bh/2: the height is given as 6cm, the base is 4cm /2 (after you cut it in half) and so is 2 cm. Since the edges can be cut into two, there are 8 right angled triangles at the edges in total.

To find the area of them:

A=8(bh/2)=8(2*6/2)=48 cm^2

However, we are still missing the part at the centre we haven't found the area of, the square. The area of a square is given by the square of the side length(4cm). Thus, A=4*4=16cm^2

Adding the areas of all the edges and the square:

48 + 16 = 64cm^2

Hence, the area of the polygon is 64cm^2
