For a regular hexagon, the interior angles are 120°, since they add up to 720 (180(6 - 2))

We also know, for a regular hexagon, all sides are equal.
Refer to my diagram.

Triangle AFE is an isosceles triangle, because two sides of the triangle are equal in a regular hexagon.
Thus, 120 + 2x = 180 (angle sum of triangle)
2x = 60 and x = 30

Now, ∠FEA = 30°, but we know that ∠FED is 120° (all interior angles of a regular hexagon is 120°)
We know that ∠FED = ∠FEA + ∠AED
120° = 30° + ∠AED
∴ ∠AED = 90° (120 - 30)

If ∠AED is 90°, then, by definition, AE ⊥ ED

You are purchasing an exercise machine for a physical therapy office. The machine has a 20 inch vertical space where you add wei
Zolol [24]
The maximum weight that could be held would be 32 pounds. or six five pound weights taking up 18 inches of space, and weighing 30 Lbs, and two one pound weights adding another two inches. You could achieve a greater weight if you had a weight of one-half inch, in which case you could take six 5 lb weights and 1 two  pound weight, then you could add a half inch weight bringing the weight to over 32 inches. Since we don't have a half inch weight we can't raise the weight above 32lbs.

Mrs. Cooper has 51.2 pounds of soil. She uses 12.9 pounds of soil for her houseplants and 30.4 pounds of soil for her garden How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

She has a total of 51.2 and uses 12.9+30.4.

The equation would be 51.2-(12.9+30.4).

51.2-(12.9+30.4)

=51.2-43.3

=7.9

In a warehouse, a group of identical robots fills orders. In 10 minutes, 5 robots can fill 20 orders. If 8 robots worked at that
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

192 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

All robots are working simultaneously, so each robot takes 10 minutes to do their orders. They are all identical, so they take an equal amount of time to do each order, meaning 20 ÷ 5 = 4. Each robot takes 10 minutes to do 4 orders.

If there are eight robots working for 60 minutes, each robot can make six times as many orders, compared to when they were working for 10 minutes. 4 x 6 = 24. There are eight robots, so 24 x 8 = 192 orders.
