Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
use trig functions
2 sides and 1 angle given
Sides given
- hypotenuse -> x
- opposite side to 30˚ -> 4
Angle
trig function associated with hyp and opp is sin
sin(x) = opp/hyp
substitute
sin 30˚ = 4/x
solve for x
0.5 = 4/x
0.5x = 4
x = 8
10.68 each for the 2 same length sides. The total of the 5 sides is 45.56 less the 3 sides which total 24.2 leaves 21.36 remaining for the 2 equal length sides. So divide 21.36 by 2 = 10.68
(45.56 - 24.2)/2 = 10.68
The length of the shortest side of the hexagon is; 41.833 inches
<h3>How to find the perimeter of a Polygon?</h3>
Let the length of the shortest side of the hexagon be x. Now, a hexagon has six sides and if the next side is 10 inches longer than the previous side, then the length of the six sides are;
x, x + 10, x + 20, x + 30, x + 40, x + 50
Perimeter is given as 401 inches. Thus;
x + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 + x + 40 + x + 50 = 401
6x + 150 = 401
6x = 401 - 150
6x = 251
x = 251/6
x = 41.833 inches

X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x
1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20
2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2
Substitute into second equation
10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2
Substitute back in
b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2
End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x
