Answer:

The length of apothem of given hexagon is 8.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem of a polygon is given by:

$apothem = \frac{s}{2\ tan\ (\frac{180}{n})}$

Here

s is length of side

tan is trigonometric function

and n denotes number of sides

Given that the polygon is a hexagon

$s = 10cm\\n = 6$

Putting the values in the formula

$apothem = \frac{10}{2\ tan\ (\frac{180}{6})}\\= \frac{10}{2\ tan\ 30}\\=\frac{10}{2 * 0.5773}\\=\frac{10}{1.1546}\\=8.6610\\Rounding\ off\ to\ nearest\ hundredth\\= 8.66\ cm$

Hence,

The length of apothem of given hexagon is 8.66 cm

From a circular cylinder of diameter 10 cm and height 12 cm are conical cavity of the same base radius and of the same height is

Nataliya [291]

<h3>Volume of the remaining solid = 628 cm^2</h3>

<h3>Whole surface area = 659.4 cm^2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, Given that:-

Diameter (d) = 10 cm

So, Radius (r) = 10/2 = 5cm

Height of the cylinder = 12cm.

$volume \: of \: the \: cylinder \: = \pi {r}^{2} h$

$= > \pi \times {5}^{2} \times 12 {cm}^{3} = 300\pi {cm}^{3}$

Radius of the cone = 5 cm.

Height of the cone = 12 cm.

$slant \: height \: of \: the \: cone \: = \sqrt{ {h}^{2} + \: {r}^{2} }$

$= > \sqrt{ {5}^{2}+{12}^{2} } cm \: = 13cm$

Volume of the cone = 1/3 *πr^2h

$= > \frac{1}{3} \pi \times {5}^{2} \times 12 {cm}^{3} = 100\pi {cm}^{3}$

therefore, the volume of the remaining solid

$= 300\pi {cm}^{3} - 100\pi {cm}^{3} \\ = 200 \times 3.14 {cm}^{3} = 628 {cm}^{3}$

Curved surface of the cylinder =

$2\pi \: rh \: = 2\pi \times 5 \times 12 {cm}^{2} \\ = 120\pi {cm}^{2} .$

$curved \: surface \: of \: the \: cone \: = \pi \: rl \\ = \pi \times 5 \times 13 {cm}^{2} \\ = 65\pi {cm }^{2} \\ area \: of \: (upper)circular \: base \: \\ of \: cylinder \: = \\ = \pi \: {r}^{2} = \pi \times {5}^{2}$

therefore, The whole surface area of the remaining solid

= curved surface area of cylinder + curved surface area of cone + area of (upper) circular base of cylinder

$= 120\pi {cm}^{2} + 65\pi {cm }^{2} + 25 \pi {cm}^{2} \\ = 210 \times 3.14 {cm}^{2} = 659.4 {cm}^{2}$

A livestock pen is built in the shape of a rectangle that is 2 times as long as it is wide. the perimeter is 42 feet. if the mat

Lorico [155]

Let width = x ft then
2x + 2(2x) = 42
6x = 42
x = 7

so the width is 7 ft and length is 14 ft.

So the cost to build the pen = 14*1.25 + 14*1,25 + 7*2.50 + 7*2.50
= 70 answer
