Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, to find the average of a set of numbers, you need to add them all together and divide by the amount of numbers:

$\dfrac{86+83+81+x}{4}=85$

Multiply both sides by 4:

$86+83+81+x=340\\x=90$

Hope this helps!

Find an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with a zero slope and passes through (12, -9).

Virty [35]

If the slope is 0, then x does not change at all.

take the given y coordinate, and make that the equation.

so y=-9, since the line will never change.

If we inscribe a circle such that it is touching all six corners of a regular hexagon of side 10 inches, what is the area of the

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$\left(100\pi - 150\sqrt{3}\right)$ square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Area of the Inscribed Hexagon</h3>

Refer to the first diagram attached. This inscribed regular hexagon can be split into six equilateral triangles. The length of each side of these triangle will be $10$ inches (same as the length of each side of the regular hexagon.)

Refer to the second attachment for one of these equilateral triangles.

Let segment $\sf CH$ be a height on side $\sf AB$ . Since this triangle is equilateral, the size of each internal angle will be $\sf 60^\circ$ . The length of segment

$\displaystyle 10\, \sin\left(60^\circ\right) = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 5\sqrt{3}$ .

The area (in square inches) of this equilateral triangle will be:

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times\text{Height} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5\sqrt{3}= 25\sqrt{3} \end{aligned}$ .

Note that the inscribed hexagon in this question is made up of six equilateral triangles like this one. Therefore, the area (in square inches) of this hexagon will be:

$\displaystyle 6 \times 25\sqrt{3} = 150\sqrt{3}$ .

<h3>Area of of the circle that is not covered</h3>

Refer to the first diagram. The length of each side of these equilateral triangles is the same as the radius of the circle. Since the length of one such side is $10$ inches, the radius of this circle will also be $10$ inches.

The area (in square inches) of a circle of radius $10$ inches is:

$\pi \times (\text{radius})^2 = \pi \times 10^2 = 100\pi$ .
