Answer:

13.5√(3) ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this, question, we are to calculate the area of the hexagon

Mathematically, we can calculate the area of a hexagon using the formula;

A = {3√(3)/2}a^2

where a is the length of the side which is 3 feet

substituting the value of 3 into the formula, we have;

A = 3√3/2 * 3^2 = 27 √(3)/2 = 13.5√(3) ft^2

Can you please help me? Keep it a little basic. (no decimals) Thanks for the help!

When you are dividing fractions you just flip the second fraction upside down and multiply the two fractions
So the first is
½ x 6/1 = 6/2 = 3

For the second you write them as improper fractions then do the same
So it is
3/2 / 1/8 = 3/2 x 8/1 = 24/2 = 12

So the answer to the first question is 3 and the second is 12

The average value of two positive numbers is 30% less than one of the two numbers. By which percentage is average value bigger t

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

75% bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second be y.

So:

$Average = \frac{x + y}{2}$

And:

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$ -----30% less than x

Substitute $Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$ in $Average = \frac{x + y}{2}$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 30\%) * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 0.30) * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70 * x$

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70x$

Cross multiply

$x + y = 0.70x * 2$

$x + y = 1.40x$

Collect like terms

$1.40x - x = y$

$0.40x = y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{y}{0.40}$

$x = 2.50y$

So, the average is:

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * x$

$Average = (1 - 30\%) * 2.50y$

$Average =0.70 * 2.50y$

$Average =1.75y$

Rewrite as:

$Average =(1 + 0.75)y$

Express as percentage

$Average =(1 + 75\%)y$

This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number

A sailor is 30m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat. The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depressio

Natali [406]

Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

$\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

In 15 minutes, Jada would have covered about 2.5 miles, while the cousin would have covered 0.625 miles.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the ratio of distance to time.

For Jada:

Speed = 2 miles / 12 minutes = 0.167 miles per minute

For Jada cousin:

Speed = 1 mile / 24 min = 0.0417 miles per minute.

Hence, in 15 minutes:

Jada distance = 15 min * 0.167 miles per minute = 2.5 miles

Jada cousin distance = 15 min * 0.167 miles per minute = 0.625 miles

In 15 minutes, Jada would have covered about 2.5 miles, while the cousin would have covered 0.625 miles.
