Trigonometry would help with this question.

The area of a regular hexagon is ((3√3)s^2)/2 where s is the side.

Plugging in 2 gives us 6√3 or 10.39 feet.

Look at the picture.

The longer diagonals of the hexagon divide it into 6 equilateral triangles.

Method 1.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the height of triangle:

a=2;\ \dfrac{a}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1;\ h=?\\\\h^2+\left(\dfrac{a}{2}\right)^2=a^2\\\\h^2+1^2=2^2\\h^2+1=4\ \ \ |-1\\h^2=3\to h=\sqrt3

Calculate the area of the triangle:

A_\triangle=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot2\cdot\sqrt3=\sqrt3\ ft^2

Calculate the area of the hexagon:

A=6A_\triangle\to A=6\cdot\sqrt3=6\sqrt3\ ft^2

Method 2:

Use the formula of the area of an equilateral triangle:

A_\triangle=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}\to A_\triangle=\dfrac{2^2\sqrt3}{4}=\sqrt3\ ft^2

Calculate the area of the hexagon:

A=6A_\triangle\to A=6\cdot\sqrt3=6\sqrt3\ ft^2

Method 3.

Use the trigonometric function to calculate the height of a triangle:

\sin60^o=\dfrac{h}{a}\\\\\sin60^o=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{h}{2}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\h=\sqrt3\\\\\vdots

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 1.01-1.005 gives the amount of money, in thousands of dollars, in Carter's savings account t years after he opens it What does 1.01 represent in this expression? Choose 1 answer Carter opened the savings account I year ago ⓢ Carter's savings account had $1,010 in it when he opened it. The amount of money in Carter's savings account increase by 1% each year.

1.01 ( 1.005 )^t

standard exponential equation is

y = a (b)^x

where a = initial value

comparing the two equations

we get

a = 1.01

so, it means 1.01 means Carters saving account had $ 1010 in it when it opened

The statement if TRUE.

There is no restriction on the coefficient of the polynomial, it can either be a fraction,a negative number of a positive number or even irrational number. It does not have any effect.
What matters is the exponent. The exponent must be a non-negative integer. Since in this case the exponent is positive, the expression will be a polynomial.
