Regular hexagon ABCDEF has a perimeter of 36. O is the center of the hexagon and of circle O. Circles A, B, C, D, E, and F have

centers at A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively.

Answer:

E. (54\sqrt{3}-27\pi\)

Step-by-step explanation:

I draw the figure described by the statement down there so you can see easily how to solve it.

Notice 3 things:

- The length of one side of the hexagon is simply 36 divided by 6. = 6 This is beacause, by nature, every single side of the hexagon has the same length.

- The radius of each circle is half the length of one side of the hexagon. This would mean that the radius of each circle is 3.

- The outer circles have 120°/360° of its area enclose. We get this value because by definition, the hexagon can be divided into 6 regular triangles, each one with every angle equal to 60°. The size of the internal angles of the hexagon will be twice this value.

So, in summary, The area enclosed by the circles is expressed like this:

Acircles = 6 * \frac{120}{360} * π * (r)² + π*r² = 3 * π * r² = 27 π

Now all we need is the area of the regular hexagon, which is simply:

Ahexagon = \frac{1}{2}* p * a

Where p is the perimeter, given by the problem, and a is its apothem, the distance between the center of the hexagon and the middle of one of its sides, that is found by multiplying the length of a side of the hexagon times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

Ahexagon = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * 6 * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 54\sqrt{3}.

Then, the area of the shaded area is equal to:

Ashaded = Ahexagon - Acircles = 54\sqrt{3} - 27π

Jaina and Tomas compare their compound interest accounts to see how much they will have in the accounts after three years. They
stellarik [79]

Formula for compound interest is

Interest = Amount - Principal

Interest = P(1+r)^{t} - P

Where r = rate in percent

t = time in years

For Jaina,

P = $300

r= 7%

t = 3 yrs

So, Interest = 300(1+0.07)^{3} - 300

For Tomas

P = $400

r= 4%

t = 3 yrs

So, Interest = 400(1+0.04)^{3} - 400

So pair of equations for Jaina and Tomas are

Interest = 300(1+0.07)^{3} - 300

Interest = 400(1+0.04)^{3} - 400

Eli wants to plant 45 sunflower plants, 81 corn plants and 63 tomato plants in his garden. If he put the same number of plants i
Lynna [10]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you would use the GCF

Find the GCF of 45, 81, 63

GCF(45, 81, 63) = 9

45 = 9 * 5

81 = 9 *9

63= 9 * 7

Since 5, 9, 7 have no common factors, the GCF has to be 9.

This means that the greatest number of plants he can put in each row is 9.

The number of rows he uses for each plant will (obviously) vary.
