I WILL GIVE BRAINLY! The surface of a table to be built will be in the shape shown below. The distance from the center of the sh
ape to the center of each side is 8.7 inches and the length of each side is 10 inches. A hexagon labeled ABCDEF is shown will all 6 sides equal in length. ED is labeled as 10 inches. A perpendicular is drawn from the center of the hexagon to the side ED. This perpendicular is labeled as 8.7 inches. Part A: Describe how you can decompose this shape into triangles. (2 points) Part B: What would be the area of each triangle? (5 points) Part C: Using your answers above, determine the area of the table's surface. (3 points)
2 answers:
Answer:
- draw lines center to vertex
- 43.5 square inches
- 261 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>:
The area can be decomposed into triangles by drawing a line from the center to each vertex of the hexagon.
__
<u>Part B</u>:
The area of each triangle is given by the triangle area formula:
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(10 in)(8.7 in) = 43.5 in²
__
<u>Part C</u>:
The area of the table top is 6 times the area of one triangle:
surface area = 6(43.5 in²) = 261 in²

Problem 18
Answers:
~P -> Q: "if it is not fall, then the leaves change colors"
~P -> ~Q: "if it is not fall, then the leaves don't change colors"
P -> ~Q: "If it is fall, then the leaves don't change colors"
Q -> ~P: "If the leaves change colors, then it is not fall"
----------
Explanation:
Simply replace each letter with the corresponding definition. We replace each P with "it is fall" and each ~P with "it is not fall". The squiggly line means "not". The same idea applies with Q and ~Q.

Problem 19
Answer: Choice A) 134
----------
Explanation:
AB = CD
8x = 4x+24
8x-4x = 24
4x = 24
x = 6
BC = 18x+26
BC = 18*6+26
BC = 134
==========================================
Problem 20
Answer: Choice C) x = 5 and y = 11
----------
Explanation:
(anglePQR)+(angleRQS) = 90
(12x-2)+(6x+2) = 90
18x = 90
x = 5
angle TQU = 90
10y-20 = 90
10y = 110
y = 11
==========================================
Problem 21
Answer: 99
----------
Explanation:
The remote interior angles add to the exterior angle (remote interior angle theorem)
(angle RPQ) + (angle PQR) = angle PRS
(3x-29) + (7x-42) = 6x-3
10x-71 = 6x-3
10x-6x = -3+71
4x = 68
x = 68/4
x = 17
angle PRS = 6x-3
angle PRS = 6*17-3
angle PRS = 99
==========================================
Problem 22
Answer: 116
----------
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below.
Solve 105+x = 180 to get x = 75
Solve 135+y = 180 to get y = 45
Solve x+y+z = 180 to get z = 60
Solve z+82+p = 180 to get p = 38
Solve p+78+q = 180 to get q = 64
Solve q+r = 180 to get r = 116
==========================================
Problem 23
Answer: B) between 4 and 44 inches
----------
Explanation:
We use a variation of the triangle inequality theorem here.
If p is the missing side length, then
24-20 < p < 24+20
4 < p < 44
So,
4 < XY < 44
The side XY cannot be 4 inches and it cannot be 44 inches either.
==========================================
Problem 24
4 Answers: A, B, C, D
----------
Explanation:
Same idea as problem 23
24-10 < x < 24+10
14 < x < 34
So we'll select values between 14 and 34, excluding each endpoint. Those values are x = 16, 18, 24, 26
In other words, only 12 and 34 are non-answers.
==========================================
Problem 25
Answer: C) 84 degrees
----------
Explanation:
The given exterior angle is 152 degrees
Subtract that from 180 to get the adjacent interior angle 180-152 = 28
Now let's find the missing angle of triangle DEB
D+E+B = 180
28+68+B = 180
96+B = 180
B = 180-96
B = 84
This is the measure of angle DBE
This is also the measure of angle ABC because the two angles are vertical angles.
Vertical angles are always congruent.
