The answer to the problem is C.
Given:
hexagon
apothem of the hexagon: 14 cm
perimeter of the hexagon: 96 cm
Area of the hexagon = [(3√3) / 2] a² ; where a is the measure of the side
hexagon has 6 sides.
Perimeter = 6a
96 cm = 6a
96 cm / 6 = a
16 = a
We can also use the area of a triangle to approximate the area of the hexagon. There are 6 triangles in the hexagon .
Area of a triangle = (height * base) / 2
A = (14 cm * 16 cm) / 2
A = 224 / 2
A = 112 cm²
112 cm² * 6 triangles = 672 cm²
The solutions to the given system of equations is (0, -6) and (1, -5)
<h3>Simultaneous equations</h3>
From the question, we are to determine the solutions to the given system of equations
The equations are
x − y = 6 --------- (1)
y = x² −6 ---------- (2)
From equation (1)
x - y = 6
∴ x = 6 + y ------- (3)
Substitute into equation (2)
y = x² −6
y = (6+y)² −6
y = (6+y)(6+y) -6
y = 36 + 6y + 6y +y² -6
y = 36 + 12y + y² - 6
Simplifying
y² + 12y - y + 30 = 0
y² + 11y + 30 = 0
Solve quadratically
y² + 11y + 30 = 0
y² + 6y + 5y + 30 = 0
y(y +6) +5 (y +6) = 0
(y + 5)(y + 6) = 0
y + 5 = 0 OR y + 6 = 0
y = -5 OR y = -6
Substitute the values of y into equation (3)
x = 6 + y
When y = -5
x = 6 + (-5)
x = 6 -5
x = 1
When y = -6
x = 6 + (-6)
x = 6 -6
x = 0
∴ When x = 0, y = -6 and when x = 1, y = -5
Hence, the solutions to the given system of equations is (0, -6) and (1, -5)
