Area of a regular hexagon with an apothem of 15 cm

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

area = 779.4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

divide it into 6 equal equilateral triangles. Each corner of a triangle will be 60°.

tan 60° = 15/x

1.7321 = 15/x

x = 8.66 (this is one-half of the base of the triangle)

base = 17.32 cm

area of one triangle = 1/2(17.32)(15) = 129.9 cm²

129.9(6) = 779.4 cm²   (because 6 triangles make up the hexagon)

A 6 foot tall football player casts a 16 inch shadow at the same time stadium we discussed at six for shadow how tall the bleach
katrin [286]
You need to use a ratio of height (H) to shadow length (L) to solve the first problem. It's basically a use of similar triangles, with two perpendicular sides, and with the shadow making the same angle with the vertical.

6 ft = 72 ins, so that rH/L = 72/16 = 9/2 for the player.

So the bleachers are 9/2 x 6 ft = 27 ft.

For the second problem, 9 ft = 108 in, so that the ratio of the actual linear dimensions to the plan's linear dimensions are 9ft/(1/2in) = 2 x 108 = 216.

So the stage will have dimensions 216 times larger than 1.75" by 3".

That would be 31ft 6ins x 54ft.

Live long and prosper.

The length of a rectangle is 9.7cm more then 4 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 91.4cm, what are the dimens
Ksju [112]
The dimensions are Width of the rectangle = 7.2 cm
Length of the rectangle = 4x + 9.7
                                      = 28.8 + 9.7
                                      = 38.5 cm. thats all

What geometric term does the surface of a chalkboard represent?
Fittoniya [83]
A) Plane because it is a flat surface that extends in two dimensions but exists in a three-dimensional space, and also it isn't a point, a line, or an angle because a line is infinitely thin, a point is infinitesimally small, and an angle is a measurement, not a surface.
