The answer is: 13 units.
__________________________________________________
Each side of the park is 13 units long.
_______________________________
(Assuming hexagonal shape will have 6 (SIX) sides of equal length).
_________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________
Let us assume you meant to write that the: "...new park, in the shape of hexagon, will have 6 (six) side of equal length."
_________________________________________
From the coordinates given, we can infer that this is a "regular" hexagon.
_______________
Here is one way to solve the problem: Find the length of ONE side of the hexagon.
_____________________
Let us choose the following coordinates: (18,0), and (6.5, 5). Let the distance between these points , which would equal ONE side of our hexagon, represent "c", the hypotenuse of a right triangle. We want to solve for this value, "c".
_____________________
Let the distance on the x-axis, from (6.5, 0) to (18.5, 0); represent "b", one side of a right triangle.
→ We can solve for "b" ; → b = 18.5 - 6.5 ; → b = 12 .
___________________________________________________'
Let the distance from (6.5, 0) to (6.5, 5) ; represent "a"; the remaining side of the right triangle.
__________________
→ a = y₂ - y₁ = 5 - 0 = 5 ;
________________________________________________
{Note: We choose the particular coordinates, including "(6.5, 0)", because the distances between the coordinates chosen form a "right triangle"; (with "c", representing a "hypotenuse", or "slanted line segment"; which would be also be "ONE line segment of the given regular hexagon", which is our answer, because each line segment is the same values, so we only have to find the value of ONE line segment, or side, of the hexagon.).
When considering the given coordinates: "(6.5, 5)", and "(18.5, 0)", a "right triangle" can be formed at the coordinate, "(6.5, 0),
By choosing this particular letters (variables) to represent the sides of a "right triangle", we can solve for the "hypotenuse, "c", using the Pythagorean theorem for the sides of a right triangle:
______________________
→ a² + b² = c² ; in which "c" represents the hypotenuse of the right triangle
and "a" represents the length of one of the other sides; and "b" represents the length of the remaining side. (Note: All triangles have three sides).
_____________________________
We have: a = 5 ; b = 12 ; → Solve for "c" ;
______________________________________
→ a² + b² = c² ; ↔ c² = a² + b² ; Plug in the known values for "a" & "b" ;
___________________________________
→ c² = a² + b² ; → c² = 5² + 12² ;
→ c² = 25 + 144 = 169 ; → c² = 169 ;
_________________________________________
→ Take the square root of each side; to isolate "c" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "c" ;
______________________________
→ c² = 169 ; √(c²) = √(169) ; → c = ± 13;
→ ignore the negative value; since the side of a polygon cannot be a negative number;
________________________________
→ c = 13 ; The answer is: 13 units.

The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.
cos x = BC / y
Solving for BC
BC = y cos x
BC is the distance between the Earth and the Sun :D
Answer:
50°, 130°
Step-by-step explanation:
All measures are in degrees. Let x represent "one angle". Then the other is (180-x) and we can write the relation ...
3x = 20 +(180 -x)
4x = 200 . . . . . . . add x, collect terms
x = 50 . . . . . . . . . . one angle
180 -50 = 130 . . . .the other angle
The measures of each angle are 50° and 130°.
Answer:
2,500 ÷ 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's evaluate each expression one after the other and find out what they both gives us, then we'd now pick or select the one that doesn't give the required answer.
For 2,500 × 10
2500*10 = 25000
For 250,000 ÷ 10
250000/100= 25000
For 2,500 ÷ 10
2500/10= 250
So from the look of the results,
The one that gave us the odd result is
2,500 ÷ 10, and that's our answer.
