The answer is 15 : 5

because In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second. For example, if a bowl of fruit contains eight oranges and six lemons, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).
And you said girls : boys

That means 15 : 5 or 15 to 5

A right pyramid with a regular hexagon base has a height of 3 units If a side of the hexagon is 6 units long, then the apothem i

Answer:

Part a) The slant height is $3\sqrt{2}\ units$

Part b) The lateral area is equal to $54\sqrt{2}\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a right pyramid with a regular hexagon base is equal to the area of its six triangular faces

so

$LA=6[\frac{1}{2}(b)(l)]$

where

b is the length side of the hexagon

l is the slant height of the pyramid

Part a) Find the slant height l

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$l^{2}=h^{2} +a^{2}$

where

h is the height of the pyramid

a is the apothem

we have

$h=3\ units$

$a=3\ units$

substitute

$l^{2}=3^{2} +3^{2}$

$l^{2}=18$

$l=3\sqrt{2}\ units$

Part b) Find the lateral area

$LA=6[\frac{1}{2}(b)(l)]$

we have

$b=6\ units$

$l=3\sqrt{2}\ units$

substitute the values

$LA=6[\frac{1}{2}(6)(3\sqrt{2})]=54\sqrt{2}\ units^{2}$

You have to explain why dividing 5/6 is the same as multiplying by 6/5

MArishka [77]

Because it equals to 1 either way. To divide 5/6 by 5/6 you turn a fraction upside down and multiply together. 5/6÷5/6→ 5/6×6/5= 1
