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

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{2}x-5\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2 and passes through (4 , -3)

(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4}) \\\\\\ y+3=2x-8\implies y=2x-11

Find each percent of change. Round to the nearest whole percent if necessary. State whether the percent of change is an increase
Alex787 [66]
So first we see if increase or decrease
180<210
it is increase

then we assume that
percent change
find how much change took place
210-180=30
30/180=x% change
percent means parts out ofo 100s so x%=x/100
30/180=x/100
multiply both sides by 100
3000/180=x
16.66666=x
answe ris 16.6%
