What radius of a circle is required to inscribe a regular hexagon with an area of 166.28 in2 and an apothem of 6.928 in?

If you want to inscribe a polygon inside a circle, you have a formula that doesn't have to use the apothem. The formula is:

A = (nr²/2)sin(360/n)

Since the polygon is a hexagon, it has 6 sides. Thus, n = 6. Knowing the area, we can determine the radius of the circle, r.

166.28 = (6r²/2)sin(360/6)
r = 8 inches

Thus, the radius of the circle is 8 inches.

josie cast a shadow of 6ft and she is 5 ft 6 in tall. A building cast a shadow of 18 ft at the same time that josie measured her

Debora [2.8K]

Josie's height = 5 ft 6 in. = 5 1/2 ft = 11/2 ft.
Josie's shadow = 6 ft.

Ratio of shadow to height = 6 / 11/2 = 12/11
So, It would be equal to ratio of building's shadow to building's height.

18/x = 12/11
x = 18*11 /12
x = 3*11 / 2
x = 16.5

In short, Your Answer would be 16.5 Feet

EXAMPLE 5 Evaluate the iterated integral 5 0 5 x sin(y2) dy dx. SOLUTION If we try to evaluate the integral as it stands, we are

Dimas [21]

$\displaystyle\int_0^5\int_x^5\sin(y^2)\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

The integration region is the triangle in the $x,y$ plane bounded by the lines $y=5$ , $y=x$ , and $x=0$ . Reversing the order of integration, this is equal to

$\displaystyle\int_0^5\int_0^y\sin(y^2)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^5y\sin(y^2)\,\mathrm dy$

For the remaining integral, let $u=y^2\implies\mathrm du=2y\,\mathrm dy$ :

$\displaystyle\int_0^5y\sin(y^2)\,\mathrm dy=\frac12\int_0^{25}\sin u\,\mathrm du=-\frac12\cos u\bigg|_0^{25}=\frac{1-\cos(25)}2$
