Explanation:
The figure is not a regular hexagon. It is an irregular hexagon.
Please, find attached the picture with the original question and the figure.
You can split the figure into two triangles and one rectangle.
The rectangle has dimensions: 7units × 4units, thus its area is 28 units².
Both the upper triangle and lower triangle have base 7 units and height 2 units.
Hence the area of each triangle is:
Hence, the area of the hexagon is:
The greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).
<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.
The total length of the wood = 90 in
We have to cut it into the greatest number of pieces, where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches.
We can cut it like:
1 in, 2 in, 3 in, 4 in, and so on
The above shows the arithmetic sequence,
The sum of the n natural number is given by:
After solving, we will get a quadratic equation:
n² + n -180 = 0
After solving, we will get:
n = 12.92 and n = -13.92(term can not be negative)
n = 12 (taking whole number)
Thus, the greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).
