Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{D. 126.2 cm}^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area left over for scrap is the area of the circle minus the area of the hexagon.

1. Area of circle

The formula for the area of a circle is

A = πr²

A = π(6)² =  36π = 113.1 in²

2. Area of hexagon

A hexagon consists of six equilateral triangles, each of side a, and we can divide each of them into two right triangles.

So, we can calculate the area of one right triangle and multiply by 12.

The formula for the area of one triangle is

A = ½bh

(a) Height of a small triangle

Per the Pythagorean Theorem,

\begin{array}{rcr}h^{2} + 3^{2} & = & 6^{2}\\h^{2} + 9  & = & 36\\h^{2} & = & 27\\& = & 3\sqrt{3}\\\end{array}\\

(b) Area of a small triangle

A = ½ bh = ½ × 3 × 3√3 = 4.5√3 in²

(c) Area of the hexagon

The hexagon contains 12 small triangles.

A = 12 × 4.5√ 3 = 54√3 ≈ 93.53 in²

3. Area of scrap

A ≈ 113.1 in² - 93.53 in² = 19.6 in²

A = \text{19.6 in}^{2} \times \left(\dfrac{\text{2.54 cm}}{\text{1 in}}\right )^{2} = \text{126.2 cm}^{2}\\\\\text{The area of the scrap is $\large \boxed{\textbf{126.2 cm}^{\mathbf{2}}}$}

Find the quotient please
LenKa [72]

Answer:

-7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions are division! If you don't know what a quotient is, It is basically a more complicated way of saying "find the answer by dividing." So we always divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). So we get 14÷-2 and we can see that -2 is a negative number, so remember that a positive times or divided by a negative is always a negative number. So therefore we get -7 as our quotient.

Answer:

The area of the 3d figure

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the one of triangle is 8.7

and the reactangle is 5 x 7 = 35

and the big one is 10 x 7 = 70

so 8.7 + 8.7 + 35 + 35 + 70 = 157.4
