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 $\large \boxed{\textbf{126.2 cm}^{\mathbf{2}}}$}

Which property is used in the problem below?<br><br> 2(x+4)=2x+8
frutty [35]

Answer:

You would use the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4) = 2x+8

2x+8x = 2x+8

10x = 2x+8

10x - 2x = 2x-2x+8

8x = 8

8x/8 = 8/8

x = 1

Write the denominator for each of the decimal numbers. (each answer, 1 point)
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

.3078542 -----> 5,000,000

.0372 ------> 2,500

.26319 ------> 100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

.3078542 = \frac{3078542}{10000000} = \frac{1539271}{5000000}\\\\\\.0372 = \frac{372}{10000} = \frac{186}{5000} = \frac{93}{2500}\\\\\\\\.26319 = \frac{26319}{100000}     \\

Write the doubles plus one fact for 7+7.
Pie

Answer:

7 + 8 = 7 + 7 + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, 'double plus one facts' is used to make the addition of numbers easy.

For e.g. we have 8 + 9 = 17. This addition can also be done as 8 + 8 + 1 = 17 i.e. we write first term twice and add 1 to get the result.

Hence, we give the name to this type of addition as 'double plus one'.

Now, we have to use this fact for 7 + 7.

So, we consider 7 + 8 = 15.

Therefore, 7 + 8 can be written as 7 + 7 + 1

Hence, the double plus one facts for 7 + 7 is 7 + 8 = 7 + 7 + 1.
