Answer:
2.5 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a regular hexagon in terms of its side length (s) is ...
A = (3/2)(√3)s²
The side length in feet is ...
(30 cm)×(1 ft)/(30.48 cm) = s = 30/30.48 ft = 125/127 ft
Then the area in square feet is ...
A = (3/2)√3(125/127 ft)² ≈ 2.517 ft²
The approximate area of the hexagon is 2.5 square feet.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
There is nothing in this problem statement that relates the hexagon to the window area.
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.
Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle
Where a and c = other two sides of triangle
Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:
Let a = BC
b = DC = 24
c = DB = 26
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2
a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )
a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )
a = square root of ( 100 )
a = 10
Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.
If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:
a = BC = 10
b = DC = 24
c = DB = 26
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
100 + 576 = 676
676 = 676
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.

You can determine the shape if it is a triangle, square, rectangle, or hexagon (or other) by seeing how many sides it has.
a triangle has 3 sides.
a square has 4 sides.
a rectangle also has 4 sides.
a pentagon has 5 sides.
a hexagon has 6 sides.
Answer:
16x^2 - 64
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x − 8)(4x + 8)
We recognize that this is the difference of squares
(a-b) (a+b) = a^2 - b^2
=(4x)^2 - 8^2
=16x^2 - 64
The slope is undefined because it is a vertical line on the x axis at 0. Its a straight line going up
