Answer:
4±√5
EXPLAINED ANSWER:
Since the variable is a binomial and it is squared, we apply square root on both side, and apply the ± sign on the right side (since the solution of a square root can be both positive and negative), and later pass the 4 positive to the other side.
√25 can be (5)(5) or (-5)(-5)
Answer:
y = x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
here m = , hence
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (4, 9) into the partial equation
9 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 9 - 2 = 7
y = x + 7 ← equation in slope-intercept form
Since the given hexagon is a regular hexagon all it's sides will be of equal length. Now, we know that the Area of any regular hexagon is given by:
Where is the area of the regular hexagon
is the side length of the regular hexagon
Also, it's Perimeter is given by:
Thus, all that we need to do is to find the side length of any one of the sides and to do that let us have a look at at the data of vertices points given and find out which points are definitely adjacent to each other and are also easy to calculate.
A quick search will yield that D(8, 0) and E(4, 0) are definitely adjacent to each other.
Please check the attached file here for a better understanding of the diagram of the original regular hexagon. Points D and E indeed are adjacent to each other.
Let us now find the distance between the points D and E using the distance formula which is as:
Where is the distance.
and
are the coordinates of points D and E respectively. (please note that interchanging the values of the coordinates will not alter the distance
)
Applying the above formula we get:
We know that this distance is the side length of the given regular hexagon.
Now, if the sides of the given regular polygon are reduced by 40%, then the new length of the sides will be:
Thus, the area of the smaller hexagon will be:
unit squared
and the new smaller perimeter will be:
unit
Which are the required answers.
