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

How do I do this? <br> Tell me how you got the answer
kotykmax [81]
1: supplementary means 180 degrees so subtract 30 from 180 and angle b is 150 degrees.
2: complementary means 90 degrees so subtract 49 from 90 and the second angle is 41 degrees.
3: a right angle is 90 degrees.
4: congruent means same size same shape so if the first angle is 40 degrees then the second angle would also be 40 degrees.
