Answer:

x = 8.69

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the perimeter of the dodecagon is 54, so each edge will be 54/12

54/12 = 4.5 cm

if we draw the lines to remove 6 vertices and form a hexagon, 6 triangles with 2 sides of 4.5 cm are formed.

we know that the angle of each vertex is 150 ° because it is a dodecagon

if we apply the law of cosines we can take the other side of the triangle, since we only need 2 side and the opposite angle to the side we want to know

a would be our x

b = 4.5

c = 4.5

A = 150°

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc * cos (A)

x^2 = 4.5^2 + 4.5^2 - 2 * 4.5 * 4.5 * cos (150)

x^2 = 20.25 + 20.25 - 40.50 * -0.866

x^2 = 40.50 + 35.07

x = √ 75.57

x = 8.69

Erika worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week. If she earns $6 per hour, how much did she earn these two weeks?
Crank
Hi!

If she worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week, then she worked 38 hours in total, because 18 + 20 = 38.

If she earns $6 per hour, and she worked for 38 hours, then she got 38 sets of 6, which you can find the answer to by multiplying 38 and 6.

This is essentially 6 + 6 + 6 +...

38 * 6 = $228

So she earned $228 these two weeks.

Hope this helped!

Which set of parametric equations represents the following function? y=/x+3?
Darina [25.2K]
The given equation is:

y= \sqrt{x+3}

We need to find which set of parametric equations, result in the equation given above. The correct answer is option A.

x=5t, y= \sqrt{5t+3}

From first equation, we can write t =x/5. Using this value in second equation, we get:

y= \sqrt{5( \frac{x}{5} )+3}  \\  \\ &#10;y= \sqrt{x+3}

Thus the set of equations in option A result in the given relation.
So, the answer to this question is option A
