Answer:
square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Area of the Inscribed Hexagon</h3>
Refer to the first diagram attached. This inscribed regular hexagon can be split into six equilateral triangles. The length of each side of these triangle will be
inches (same as the length of each side of the regular hexagon.)
Refer to the second attachment for one of these equilateral triangles.
Let segment
be a height on side
. Since this triangle is equilateral, the size of each internal angle will be
. The length of segment
.
The area (in square inches) of this equilateral triangle will be:
.
Note that the inscribed hexagon in this question is made up of six equilateral triangles like this one. Therefore, the area (in square inches) of this hexagon will be:
.
<h3>Area of of the circle that is not covered</h3>
Refer to the first diagram. The length of each side of these equilateral triangles is the same as the radius of the circle. Since the length of one such side is
inches, the radius of this circle will also be
inches.
The area (in square inches) of a circle of radius
inches is:
.
The area (in square inches) of the circle that the hexagon did not cover would be:
.
A direct variation is a proportional equation. Such as:
For every 3 cookies, linda gets 1 glass of milk. The equation for this is y=3x where y is the glasses and x is the cookies. this is a direct variation. It also has a linear line. Linear means straight. Rate of change and slope are the exact same thing. They are the value of 'm' in y=mx+b
Answer:
true flase true
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:

. When we do that multiplication, we have

. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.

. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:

. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
