Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The apothem of a regular polygon is a line segment from the center to the midpoint of one of its sides.

Given the hexagon with a radius of 10 inches

The apothem AB divides the side of the hexagon into two equal parts of 5 Inches as seen in the attached diagram.

Using Pythagoras Theorem

$10^2=5^2+|AB|^2\\|AB|^2=10^2-5^2\\|AB|^2=75\\|AB|=\sqrt{75}\\ |AB|=8.66$ in\\\approx$ 9 in (rounded to the nearest inch)$

<u>The correct option is C</u>

Water is drained out of tank, shaped as an inverted right circular cone that has a radius of 16cm and a height of 8cm, at the ra

andriy [413]

Let h=height of water
Let r=radius of water surface
r/h=16/8 =2, so r=2h.
The volume of water is:
v=(1/3)×π×r²×h
=(1/3)×π×(2h)²×h
=4/3πh³
dv/dh=4πh^2
By chain rule:
dv/dt=dv/dh×dh/dt
but
dv/dt=4
thus:
4=(4πh)×dh/dt
dh/dt=4/(4πh²)
when h=6cm we have:
dh/dt=4/(4π6²)
=0.00884 cm³/min
