Answer:
60 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
To first solve this problem, we need to figure out the size of an interior angle for a regular hexagon.
This can be done with the formula :
, with n being the number of sides
A hexagon has 6 sides so here is how we would solve for the interior angle:
, with n= 6 sides
Now that we know that each interior angle in the hexagon is 120 degrees, we can now turn our attention to the rhombus.
The opposite angles of the rhombus are congruent, so the two larger obtuse angles are congruent, and so are the two smaller acute angles.
It is also important to note that a rhombus is a quadrilateral, so all of its interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
Looking at the rhombus, we already know one of the angles because it is shared by the interior angle of the hexagon, so the two larger angles in the rhombus are both 120 degrees.
But what about the smaller angles? All we need to do is subtract the two larger angles form 360 and divide by 2 to find the angle.
, so the smaller angle in the rhombus is 60 degrees.
Now that we know both the interior angle and smaller angle of the rhombus, we can find x.
Together, angle x and the angle adjacent to it makes up an interior angle of the hexagon, so x plus that angle is going to equal to 120 degrees.
All we need to do is solve for x:
x = 60 degrees

Answer: The graph in the bottom right-hand corner
(see figure 4 in the attached images below)
===========================================
Explanation:
Let's start off by graphing x+y < 1. The boundary equation is x+y = 1 since we simply change the inequality sign to an equal sign. Solve for y to get x+y = 1 turning into y = -x+1. This line goes through (0,1) and (1,0). The boundary line is a dashed line due to the fact that there is no "or equal to" in the original inequality sign. So x+y < 1 turns into y < -x+1 and we shade below the dashed line. The "less than" means "shade below" when y is fully isolated like this. See figure 1 in the attached images below.
Let's graph 2y >= x-4. Start off by dividing everything by 2 to get y >= (1/2)x-2. The boundary line is y = (1/2)x-2 which goes through the two points (0,-2) and (4,0). The boundary line is solid. We shade above the boundary line. Check out figure 2 in the attached images below.
After we graph each individual inequality, we then combine the two regions on one graph. See figure 3 below. The red and blue shaded areas in figure 3 overlap to get the purple shaded area you see in figure 4, which is the final answer. Any point in this purple region will satisfy both inequalities at the same time. The solution point cannot be on the dashed line but it can be on the solid line as long as the solid line is bordering the shaded purple region. Figure 4 matches up perfectly with the bottom right corner in your answer choices.
