Answer:
- draw lines center to vertex
- 43.5 square inches
- 261 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>:
The area can be decomposed into triangles by drawing a line from the center to each vertex of the hexagon.
__
<u>Part B</u>:
The area of each triangle is given by the triangle area formula:
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(10 in)(8.7 in) = 43.5 in²
__
<u>Part C</u>:
The area of the table top is 6 times the area of one triangle:
surface area = 6(43.5 in²) = 261 in²
Problem 215
Check out the attached image. Line up the letters ABC and CDE so the first set of letters are over the second set of letters. Order is important here. Note how A corresponds to C (second C), B corresponds to D, and (the first) C corresponds to E.
We have this mapping:
A <--> C
B <--> D
C <--> E
This means...
Angle BAC corresponds to Angle DCE (red angles)
Angle ABC corresponds to Angle CDE (blue angles)
Angle BCA corresponds to Angle DEC (green angles)
It also means...
Side BC corresponds to Side DE (red sides)
Side AC corresponds to Side CE (blue sides)
Side AB corresponds to Side CD (green sides)
Check out the attached image which I hope clears up any confusion you may have. Often I think it helps to represent stuff like this in a visual way.

Problem 216
Answer: True
Since triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, this means that side AB is congruent to side ED. These are corresponding sides. Since AB = 6, this means ED = 6 as well.
Well, since she bought 3.42 pounds of green apples, then you can subtract 3 lbs off of that, so she bought .42 lbs of green apples, and 2.19 lbs red apples
So now, you just need to add .42 and 2.19
.42 + 2.19 = 2.61, so she has 2.61 lbs of apples left
Hope this helped!
