Answer:

B)  8

Step-by-step explanation:

a regular hexagon with side length 12 and radius 10.

 the length of the apothem

to get the length of the apothem, use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

let a = 6, b = apothem, c = 10

plugin values into the formula

6² + b² = 10²

b² = 10² - 6²

b =  √(100 - 64)

b = 8

Answer:

the length of the apothem is 8, option B

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

a regular hexagon with side length 12 and radius 10.

find;

the length of the apothem

referring to the attached image,

to get the length of the apothem, use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

let a = 6, b = apothem, c = 10

plugin values into the formula

6² + b² = 10²

b² = 10² - 6²

b = \sqrt{100 - 36}

b = \sqrt{64}

b = 8

therefore,

the length of the apothem is 8, option B

galben [10]

Perimeter = length + length + width + width.

7y-7.5 + 7y-7.5 + 7.5y+8 + 7.5y +8

Combine like terms:

29y+1

The perimeter is 29y + 1 feet

hey the question is, " The length of a rectangle is twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 126 feet."​
Tema [17]

Answer:

42 = <em>l</em>

21 = <em>w</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

{l = 2<em>w</em>

{126 = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>

126 = 2<em>w</em> + 2[2<em>w</em>]

126 = 2<em>w</em> + 4<em>w</em>

126 = 6<em>w</em>

21 = w [Plug this back into both equations to get the length of 42]; 42 = <em>l</em>
