Each side of the given regular hexagon measures 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given ,

The regular hexagon;s perimeter = 60 in

We need to determine the each side's length

Step 2:

Let x be length of hexagon's side. Since this is a regular hexagon we know that the length of all its sides is the same and is equal to x

The regular hexagon's perimeter is equal to six times the length of its equal side.

So here we have ,

6 x = 66

=> x = 11 inches.

Step 3 :

Answer:

Each side of the given regular hexagon measures 11 inches

Answer:

KL = 28

YZ = 76

LZ = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Because J K and L are midpoints, the segment lengths are half of the segments from the XYZ triangle.

Think of it like this: ZLK is just ZXY scaled to half.

From that we get:

KL = YX/2 = 56/2 = 28

YZ = 2*KJ = 2*38 = 76

LZ = YZ/2 = 76/2 = 38

Bill wants to make 10Lcof a 30% saline solution by mixing together a 60% saline solution and a 10% saline solution. How much of

erastovalidia [21]

10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of 10 % saline solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of liters of 60% saline solution

Now we require 10 L of 30% saline solution.

Liter soln % liters saline %

30 % 10 0.3

60 % x 0.6

10 % 10-x 0.1

Now forming the algebraic equation,

0.6x + 0.1 (10-x) = 10 (0.3)

0.6x + 1 - 0.1 x = 3

0.5 x = 2

x = 4 ( 4 l of 60 % solution is required. So 10 % saline solution required is 10 - 4 = 6 L).

Hence, 10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of 10 % saline solution.

In a fitness program, Pedro does 20 sit-ups on the first day, and increases this by 2 sit-ups everyday. Determine the day when t

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

day 540

Step-by-step explanation:

He increases his number of situps by 2 each day meaning on day 1 he'd do 2 extra, on day 2 he'd do 4 extra, on day he'd do 6 extra etc. We can show this by saying +2x where x is the day he is on. Then since he started with 20 we have to add 20 so it would be 20+2x. We want to know what day it is when he does 1100 situps so we can set our equation equal to 1100 and solve for X which is the day it would be.

20+2x=1100

2x=1080

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
