Answer:

Area = 166cm² (Approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, let's recall the formula for the area of a REGULAR Hexagon.

The area of a REGULAR Hexagon is expressed as:

A = (3√3 * a²) / 2

Where a is the length of one side of the Hexagon.

a= 8cm.

Area = (3√3 * 8²) / 2

Area = (3√3 * 64) / 2

Area = (192√3) / 2

Area = 332.55 / 2

Area = 166.28cm²

Area = 166cm² (Approximately)

Answer: Area = 96 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon has 6 sides, since it is a regular hexagon, all the sides are equal.

The formula for determining the area of a regular polygon is expressed as

Area = pa/2

Where

P represents the perimeter of the polygon.

a represents the apotherm of the polygon. The apotherm is the perpendicular distance from the center of one side of the polygon to the center of the polygon.

From the information given, the apotherm = 4 cm

Perimeter = 8 × 6 = 48

Area of polygon = (48 × 4)/2

= 96 cm²

Solve the equation or formula for the indicated variable a=4b^5h

Given that the formula we are required to solve for h:
a=4b^5h
to solve for h we divide both sides by 4, this will give us:
a/4=(4b^5h)/4
a/4=b^5h
next we divide both sides by b^5, this will give us:
a/(4×b^5)=(b^5h)/b^5
a/(4b^5)=h
hence the answer is:
h=a/(4b^5)

The y- intercept of this equation is 4/1=4.00000
Explanation: y tells us how far up the line goes Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 4/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 4.00000
