Answer:

when they have equal sides and the exact shape and the same angle measures. they have tobe the same size.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, when you have a square with sides 3 cm, then you compare it with the exact copy of the square. These squares are congruent. Two figures are congruent if and only if they have the exact same shape and the exact same size. If the corresponding sides of two figures with the same shape have the same length, then the two figures are congruent.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Part A

$The \ circumradius, \ R = \dfrac{a}{cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)}$

Plugging in the given values we get;

$The \ circumradius, \ R = \dfrac{6 \cdot \sqrt{3} }{cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6} \right)} = \dfrac{6 \cdot \sqrt{3} }{\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \right)} = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3} } = 12$

R = 12 inches

The radius of the circumscribing circle is 12 inches

Part B

The length of each side of the hexagon, 's', is;

$s = a \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)$

Therefore;

$s = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6} \right) = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \right) = 12$

s = 12 inches

The perimeter, P = n × s = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

The perimeter of the hexagon is 72 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the regular hexagon are;

The length of the apothem of the regular hexagon, a = 6·√3 inches

The relationship between the apothem, 'a', and the circumradius, 'R', is given as follows;

$a = R \cdot cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)$

Where;

n = The number of sides of the regular polygon = 6 for a hexagon

'a = 6·√3 inches', and 'R' are the apothem and the circumradius respectively;

Part A

Therefore, we have;

$The \ circumradius, \ R = \dfrac{a}{cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)}$

Plugging in the values gives;

The circumradius, R = 12 inches

Part B

The length of each side of the hexagon, 's', is given as follows;

$s = a \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)$

Therefore, we get;

$s = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6} \right) = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \right) = 12$

The length of each side of the hexagon, s = 12 inches

The perimeter of the hexagon, P = n × s = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

The perimeter of the hexagon = 72 inches

How would you solve this problem?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

x = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is the sum of the opposite interior angles for a triangle

2x-2 = x + 45

Subtract x from each side

2x-2 -x = x+45-x

x-2 = 45

Add 2 to each side

x-2 +2 = 45+2

x = 47

JulijaS [17]

area: 18 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the shape is a quadrilateral, with one slanted side, so I separated the shape into a rectangle and triangle, and and calculated their area respectively, then added the products up. please correct me if I'm wrong. hope this helped. :)
