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

Find the discount rate
kifflom [539]

we'd do the same as before on this one as well.

if we take 27.99 to be the 100%, what is 12 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 27.99&100\\ 12&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{27.99}{12}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 27.99x=1200 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1200}{27.99}\implies x\approx 42.87

My number has a tens digit that is 8 more than the ones digit. Zero is not one of my digits. Write the 2-digit number that match
pochemuha

Answer:

The number is 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the ones place digit and y be the tens place digit,

Then the number would be 10y + x,

We have,

y - x = 8

Possible values of y and x = { (8, 0), (9, 1) }

∵ 0 is not the digit of the number,

Hence, y = 9 and x = 1

Therefore, required number = 10(9) + 1 = 90 + 1 = 91
