a. The percentage of the circle occupied by the hexagon is 82.7%

b. The percentage of the circle not occupied by the hexagon is 17.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle is approximately 0.827 times the

area of that same circle

1. Assume that area the circle is x

2. Find the ratio of area hexagon to area circle

3. Change The ratio to percentage

4. Subtract area hexagon from area circle to find the area not occupied

    by the hexagon and do the same steps 2 and 3 with the area not

    occupied and the circle

∵ The regular hexagon inscribed in a circle

∴ Area the circle  > area of the hexagon

∵ Area the circle is x

∵ Area the hexagon is 0.827 times the area of the circle

∴ Area hexagon = 0.827(x)

∵ The ratio between area hexagon and area circle = \frac{0.827x}{x}

- Cancel x up with x down

∴ The ratio between area hexagon and area circle = 0.872

- Change the ratio to percentage by multiply it by 100%

∴ The percentage of area hexagon to area circle = 0.827 × 100%

∴ The percentage of area hexagon to area circle = 82.7%

a. The percentage of the circle occupied by the hexagon is 82.7%

∵ Area the circle is x

∵ Area the hexagon is 0.827 x

∴ The area not occupied by the hexagon = x - 0.827 x

∴ The area not occupied by the hexagon = 0.173 x

The ratio between area not occupied by the hexagon and area circle

= \frac{0.173x}{x}

- Cancel x up with x down

∴ The ratio between area not occupied by the hexagon and area

   circle = 0.173

- Change the ratio to percentage by multiply it by 100%

∴ The percentage of area not occupied by the hexagon to area

   circle = 0.173 × 100%

∴ The percentage of area not occupied by the hexagon to area

   circle = 17.3%

b. The percentage of the circle not occupied by the hexagon is 17.3%

Find the area of a trapezoid with base 1 side = 10 base 2 side = 16 and 3​
mart [117]

Answer:

Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

For A Trapezoid

The measure of base side 1 = b_1 = 10 unit

The measure of base side 2 = b_2 = 16 unit

The height of the Trapezoid = h = 3 unit

Let  The Area of Trapezoid = A square unit

<u>Now, From Formula</u>

Area of Trapezoid = \dfrac{1}{2} × (sum of opposite base) × height

I.e A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (b_1 + b_2) × h

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (10 unit + 16 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (26 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × 78 unit²

Or, A = \dfrac{78}{2} unit²

I.e A = 39 unit²

So, The Area of Trapezoid = A = 39 unit²

Hence, The Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit² . Answer

A graph is shown below:
pshichka [43]
If one of the points is (0,36), then that shows that, that is the number where the line crosses the y-axis, so now all you have to do is plug in 36 to b in the y=mx+b formula. So the answer is B

T = AB-5 for A what would be the answer for A
Ainat [17]

The given equation solved for A is A = (T + 5)/ B

<h3>Solving linear equation</h3>

From the question, we are to solve the given equation for A

To solve the equation for A, we will simply make A the subject of the equation

The given equation is

T = AB - 5

Solving for A

T = AB - 5

Add 5 to both sides of the equation

T + 5 = AB - 5 + 5

T + 5 = AB

Divide both sides of the equation by B

That is,

(T + 5)/B = AB/B

(T + 5)/B = A

∴ A = (T + 5)/ B

Hence, the given equation solved for A is A = (T + 5)/ B
