What radius of a circle is required to inscribe a regular hexagon with an area of 210.44 cm2 and an apothem of 7.794 cm

1 answer:

8 0

We know that

[area of a regular hexagon]=6*[area of one equilateral triangle]
210.44=6*[area of one equilateral triangle]
[area of one equilateral triangle]=210.44/6-----> 35.07 cm²

[area of one equilateral triangle]=b*h/2
h=7.794 cm
b=2*area/h------> b=2*35.07/7.794------>b= 9 cm

the length side of a regular hexagon is 9 cm
applying the Pythagorean theorem
r²=h²+(b/2)²------>r²=7.794²+(4.5)²------> r²=81--------> r=9 cm

this last step was not necessary because the radius is equal to the hexagon side------> (remember the equilateral triangles)

the answer is
the radius is 9 cm

Determine the value of base b if (152)b = 0x6A. Please show all steps.

DaniilM [7]

Assuming 0x6A is given in base 16, first convert $152_b$ and $6A_{16}$ to a common base, say base 10:

$152_b=1\cdot b^2+5\cdot b^1+2\cdot b^0=(b^2+5b+2)_{10}$

$6A_{16}=6\cdot16^1+10\cdot16^0=106_{10}$

Then

$b^2+5b+2=106$

$b^2+5b-104=(b-13)(b+8)=0$

$\implies b=13$

The path of a skateboarder can be modeled by the equation (x – 3)2 = –8(y – 8), where distance is in feet and air resistance is

yKpoI14uk [10]

The maximum height and horizontal distance is required.

Maximum height 8 feet; horizontal distance 16 feet

The given path is $(x-3)^2=-8(y-8)$

If the skateboarder jumps at x = 0 she will land at y = 0. However there will be at horizontal displacement.

$(x-3)^2=-8(0-8)\\\Rightarrow (x-3)^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow x-3=\pm 8\\\Rightarrow x-3=8\\\Rightarrow x=11$

$x-3=-8\\\Rightarrow x=-5$

The distance between -5 and 11 is $11-(-5)=16$

Middle point would be $\dfrac{16}{2}=8$ from $-5$ .

$-5+8=3$

So, $x=3$

The maximum height will be

$(3-3)^2=-8(y-8)\\\Rightarrow y-8=0\\\Rightarrow y=8$

The maximum height is 8 feet and the horizontal distance is 16 feet.

Using the equation x+3, write one equation that has one solution, one equation that has no solution, and one equation that has i

neonofarm [45]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

one: x+3 = 2x
none: x+3 = x
infinite: x+3 = x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation with variable terms on opposite sides of the equal sign will have one solution when the coefficients of those variables are different.

x+3 = 2x . . . . has one solution (x=3)

There will be no solution if the variable terms on opposite sides of the equal sign have the same coefficient, but the constants are different. Such an equation can be reduced to 0 = 1, which cannot be made true by any value of the variable.

x +3 = x . . . . has no solutions

There will be an infinite number of solutions if the left side of the equal sign is the same as the right side. Every value of the variable will satisfy the equation.

x +3 = x +3 . . . . has infinite solutions
