The answer is: 13 units. __________________________________________________ Each side of the park is 13 units long. _______________________________ (Assuming hexagonal shape will have 6 (SIX) sides of equal length). _________________________________________________ Explanation: __________________________ Let us assume you meant to write that the: "...new park, in the shape of hexagon, will have 6 (six) side of equal length." _________________________________________ From the coordinates given, we can infer that this is a "regular" hexagon. _______________ Here is one way to solve the problem: Find the length of ONE side of the hexagon. _____________________ Let us choose the following coordinates: (18,0), and (6.5, 5). Let the distance between these points , which would equal ONE side of our hexagon, represent "c", the hypotenuse of a right triangle. We want to solve for this value, "c". _____________________ Let the distance on the x-axis, from (6.5, 0) to (18.5, 0); represent "b", one side of a right triangle. → We can solve for "b" ; → b = 18.5 - 6.5 ; → b = 12 . ___________________________________________________' Let the distance from (6.5, 0) to (6.5, 5) ; represent "a"; the remaining side of the right triangle. __________________ → a = y₂ - y₁ = 5 - 0 = 5 ; ________________________________________________ {Note: We choose the particular coordinates, including "(6.5, 0)", because the distances between the coordinates chosen form a "right triangle"; (with "c", representing a "hypotenuse", or "slanted line segment"; which would be also be "ONE line segment of the given regular hexagon", which is our answer, because each line segment is the same values, so we only have to find the value of ONE line segment, or side, of the hexagon.). When considering the given coordinates: "(6.5, 5)", and "(18.5, 0)", a "right triangle" can be formed at the coordinate, "(6.5, 0),
By choosing this particular letters (variables) to represent the sides of a "right triangle", we can solve for the "hypotenuse, "c", using the Pythagorean theorem for the sides of a right triangle: ______________________ → a² + b² = c² ; in which "c" represents the hypotenuse of the right triangle and "a" represents the length of one of the other sides; and "b" represents the length of the remaining side. (Note: All triangles have three sides). _____________________________ We have: a = 5 ; b = 12 ; → Solve for "c" ; ______________________________________ → a² + b² = c² ; ↔ c² = a² + b² ; Plug in the known values for "a" & "b" ; ___________________________________ → c² = a² + b² ; → c² = 5² + 12² ;
→ c² = 25 + 144 = 169 ; → c² = 169 ; _________________________________________ → Take the square root of each side; to isolate "c" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "c" ; ______________________________ → c² = 169 ; √(c²) = √(169) ; → c = ± 13;
→ ignore the negative value; since the side of a polygon cannot be a negative number; ________________________________ → c = 13 ; The answer is: 13 units. ________________________________
1) Take 2 points which are on the same horizontal line: they are for example: (6.5,5) and <span>(-6.5,5). Both are 5 units above X-axis as their y=5. 2) Then estimate distance btw x coordinate. That's the difference btw positive 6.5 and negative 6.5. That's 13 units. :) That's how long each side is :)
You can do same with the pair of </span><span>(6.5,-5) and (-6.5,-5) - they belong to the line y=-5 (parallel to x-axis) and distance btw 6.5 and -6.5 is again 13 units </span>
Left-most section: .. You can tell from the point (3, 9) that the only viable choice is selection D.
Center section: .. When you extend the graph to the y-axis, you see the y-intercept is 10. The slope is negative, so selection B is appropriate.
Right section: .. The line goes up 3 grid points for each 2 to the right, so the slope is 3/2. In point-slope form the equation of that line can be written as .. y = (3/2)(x -6) +4 = (3/2)x -9 +4 = (3/2)x -5 = (3x -10)/2 . . . . . selection C
A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The geometric term(s) modeled by each object are Hexagon, point, line, line, and plane, respectively.
<h3>What is a line?</h3>
A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. A line segment is also a line but the line with finite length and having fixed endpoints.
The geometric term(s) modeled by each object
9. Stop sign ⇒ Hexagon
10. Tip of pin ⇒ Point
11. Strings of a violin ⇒ Line
12. A car antenna ⇒ Line
13. A library card ⇒ Plane
Hence, The geometric term(s) modeled by each object are Hexagon, point, line, line, and plane, respectively.
