Answer:

b) 41.6 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle with a diameter of 8 inches.

Step 1

We find the radius

Radius = Diameter/2

= 8 inches/2 = 4 inches

a. What is the perimeter of the hexagon?

b. What is the area of the hexagon?

An hexagon has 6 sides

The number of angles in an hexagon is calculated as:

[(Number of sides - 2) x 180]

= (6 - 2) x 180 = 720 ÷ 6 = 120°

The hexagon into 6 equilateral triangles with 4 for each of its sides.

The area of one of the triangles:

Height = 2√3

- one triangle's area = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(4)(2√3) = 4√3

The area of the hexagon by multiplying the one triangle's area by 6:

6 x 4√3 = 24√3 square inches

= 41.569219382 square inches

Approximately = 41.6 square inches

Use the relationship between the angles in the figure to answer the question Which equation can be used to find the value of x?

dusya [7]

Answer:

x + 49 + 28 = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to x on the left is vertically opposite 49° and is congruent.

The 3 angles then lie on a straight line and sum to 180° , that is

x + 49 + 28 = 180

Precalculus Homework help please.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(5)

Using the trigonometric identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ cos²x = 1 - sin²x

Given

3sin²Θ + 2cos²Θ - 2

= 3sin²Θ + 2(1 - sin²Θ) - 2

= 3sin²Θ + 2 - 2sin²Θ - 2

= sin²Θ

(6)

Using the trigonometric identity

secx = $\frac{1}{cosx}$

Consider the left side

$\frac{cosx}{1-sin^2x}$

= $\frac{cosx}{cos^2x}$

= $\frac{1}{cosx}$ = secx = right side ⇒ verified

(7)

Using the trigonometric identity

1 + cot²x = csc²x

Given

sin²x. cot²x + sin²x ← factor out sin²x from each term

= sin²x(cot²x + 1)

= sin²x. csc²x

= sin²x × $\frac{1}{sin^2x}$ = 1
