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

Answer: 4.25 pound of meat

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a addition questions, all you have to do is to add the numbers together. But you have to convert all the fractions and decimal to the same thing first. In this case, I'll convert all the fraction to decimal.

2.42 + 0.75 + 0.36  ✕ 3 = 4.25 pound
