Answer:

x+(x+4)=52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name the smaller number x.

The greater number would then be (x+4).

<em>The sum of two numbers means we are adding them together.</em>

<u>The equation we could then set up would be:</u>

x+(x+4)=52

<em>Now we can solve the equation to find the two numbers if needed.</em>

<u>Here is how:</u>

x+x+4=52

Combine like terms.

2x+4=52

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x=48

Divide both sides by 2

x=24

The smaller number is 24.

24+4=28

The larger number is 28.

A regular hexagonal prism has an edge length 12 cm, and height 10 cm. Identify the volume of the prism to the nearest tenth.
Alexeev081 [22]

Check the picture below.

so the volume will simply be the area of the hexagonal face times the height.

\textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2\stackrel{\qquad degrees}{\cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)}~~ \begin{cases} n=\stackrel{number~of}{sides}\\ s=\stackrel{length~of}{side}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n=6\\ s=12 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)(12)^2\cot\left( \frac{180}{6} \right) \\\\\\ A=216\cot(30^o)\implies A=216\sqrt{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the hexagon}}{(216\sqrt{3})}~~\stackrel{height}{(10)}\implies 2160\sqrt{3}~~\approx ~~3741.2~cm^3

If four of the exterior angles of a convex pentagon measure
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

120 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 exterior angles sum to 360 degrees.

So the 5th exterior angle = 360 - 4(60)

= 360 - 240

= 120 degrees.
