Answer:

2 2/3 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

If your ratio is 3 flour to 4 sugar, and you use 2 cups of flour, set up your proportion as follows:

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2}{x}$

Cross multiply to get 3x = 8 and x = 8/3 which is 2 and 2/3 cups of sugar.

What is the measure of angle 1?

svp [43]

Answer:

88°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 2 parallel lines, first we use the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

Since angle 2 is corresponding to the 92° angle,

angle 2 = 92°

Now we know that angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary.

This means:

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180°

<em>(substitute known values)</em>

angle 1 + 92 = 180

<em>(subtract 92 on both sides)</em>

<h2>angle 1 = 88°</h2><h2></h2>

Hope this helps, please say thanks if it does!

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with a radius of 2x units and an apothem of units. A solid right pyramid

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$6 x^2*\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: $\frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}$

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures $x\sqrt{3}$ , so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:
