Answer:
6.71
You use pythagoras so you do:
6² + 3² = 45
square root 45 =6.71
The answer is a) equilateral triangle. If you want to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle, the tools or constructions that should be used is 6 equilateral triangles. If you draw a hexagon inscribed in a circle and draw radii to the corners of the hexagon, you will create triangles, six of them.<span>

I believe it is 28 dimes
.25 × 30 = 7.50
.10 × 190 = 19
19 + 7.50 = 26.50
Then, you add 4 more quarters which is 27.50 and the 28 dime makes it 27.60
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
