Answer:

6 x^2*\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: \frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures x\sqrt{3}, so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:

\frac{2x*height}{2}= \frac{2x*x\sqrt{3} }{2}=x^2\sqrt{3}

Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):

Area of hexagon = 6x^2\sqrt{3}

which is the last option given in the list.

I NEED HELP!!
Bess [88]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

4x - 6 + 2x = 3(2x - 2)

4x - 6 + 2x = 6x - 6

[ both sides - 6 cancel each other ]

4x + 2x = 6x

6x = 6x

[ both sides 6x cancel each other ]

0 = 0.

Factor. x2+5x−14 polynomials and binomials
bekas [8.4K]
These are a lot easier when they r like this...no coefficient in front of ur x^2.

x^2 + 5x - 14....u see ur last sign, the -.....this tells me that in ur 2 factors, both signs will be different....one is positive and one is negative. U see ur first sign, the +, this tells me that ur bigger number will be positive.
Now we just have to find 2 numbers, that when added = 5 and when multiplied = 14, So ur 2 numbers are 7 and 2.

(x^2 + 5x - 14) = 
(x + 7)(x - 2) <===
