The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon.

Mathematics
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

96\sqrt{3} cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A hexagon can be cut into 6 equilateral triangles.

Using the half shown in the diagram to calculate the apothem a , and the exact value

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , then

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{a}{8} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

2a = 8\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 4\sqrt{3} cm

The area (A) can be calculated using

A = \frac{1}{2} pa ( p is the perimeter of the hexagon )

The sides of the hexagon measure 8 cm ( equilateral Δ has congruent sides )

p = 6 × 8 = 48 cm, so

A = \frac{1}{2} × 48 × 4\sqrt{3} = 96\sqrt{3} cm²

Find the value of X<br> (Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

11\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given shape is a right triangle, to find the value of x we can use Euclidian Theorem:

x^2 = 14*(14+4)

x^2 = 280 find the root for both sides

x = 11\sqrt{2}

Janelle drew KL in isosceles trapezoid FGHJ to create similar trapezoids FKLJ and KGHL. Based on the given information, what are
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

w = 36 centimeters

y = 24 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact question is as follows :

Given - Janelle drew KL in isosceles trapezoid FGHJ to create similar trapezoids FKLJ and KGHL.

To find - Based on the given information, what are the values of y and w in centimeters?

Solution -

We can see that from the diagram,

Trapezoid FKLJ is 3 times bigger than Trapezoid KGHL

So,

The side KL = 3 times side GH

⇒12 = 3×4

⇒12 = 12 centimeters

So,

side FJ = 3 times side KL

⇒w = 3×12

⇒w = 36 centimeters

Now,

The side KF = 3 times side KG

⇒KF = 3×8

⇒KF = 24

Now,

We know,

In  isosceles trapezoid  two opposite sides (the bases) are parallel, and the two other sides (the legs) are of equal length

So,

Side LJ = side KF

⇒y = 24 centimeters

∴ we get

w = 36 centimeters

y = 24 centimeters

Y=square root of 6x-5/4x please answer before Wednesday
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

x = 5/6-4y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

^ = to the power of and * = times

y = square root of 6x-5/4x

(times by the square root on either side, sorry I don't know how to word it)

y^2=6x-5/4x

(times by 4x either side)

4xy^2= 6x-5

(+5 either side)

4xy^2+5=6x

(-4xy^2 either side)

5=6x-4xy^2

(factorize)

5=x(6-4y^2)

(divide by (6-4y^2))

5/6-4y^2 = x     or     x = 5/6-4y^2

Tell me if this is incorrect.
