Since the given hexagon is a regular hexagon all it's sides will be of equal length. Now, we know that the Area of any regular hexagon is given by:
Where is the area of the regular hexagon
is the side length of the regular hexagon
Also, it's Perimeter is given by:
Thus, all that we need to do is to find the side length of any one of the sides and to do that let us have a look at at the data of vertices points given and find out which points are definitely adjacent to each other and are also easy to calculate.
A quick search will yield that D(8, 0) and E(4, 0) are definitely adjacent to each other.
Please check the attached file here for a better understanding of the diagram of the original regular hexagon. Points D and E indeed are adjacent to each other.
Let us now find the distance between the points D and E using the distance formula which is as:
Where is the distance.
and
are the coordinates of points D and E respectively. (please note that interchanging the values of the coordinates will not alter the distance
)
Applying the above formula we get:
We know that this distance is the side length of the given regular hexagon.
Now, if the sides of the given regular polygon are reduced by 40%, then the new length of the sides will be:
Thus, the area of the smaller hexagon will be:
unit squared
and the new smaller perimeter will be:
unit
Which are the required answers.
Answer: y = 2x+22
========================================================
Explanation:
The equation y = 2x+5 is in the form y = mx+b
m = 2 = slope
b = 5 = y intercept
Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. So the answer will be in the form y = 2x+c, where b and c are different numbers. Since b = 5, this means c must be some other number. If c = 5, then we'd have the exact same line.
Let's plug in (x,y) = (-5,12), along with the slope m = 2, and solve for c
y = mx+c
12 = 2(-5)+c
12 = -10+c
12+10 = c
22 = c
c = 22
Since m = 2 and c = 22, we go from y = mx+c to y = 2x+22
The equation of the parallel line is y = 2x+22
The graph is below.
