If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 then x is 0”.Let q: x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 r: x is 0.i To show that statement p is true we assume that q is true and then show that r is true.Therefore let statement q be true.∴ x2 + 4x = 0 x x2 + 4 = 0⇒ x = 0 or x2+ 4 = 0However since x is real it is 0.Thus statement r is true.Therefore the given statement is true.ii To show statement p to be true by contradiction we assume that p is not true.Let x be a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0.Therefore x3 + 4x = 0 x x2+ 4 = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 x = 0 orx2 = – 4However x is real. Therefore x = 0 which is a contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0.Thus the given statement p is true.iii To prove statement p to be true by contrapositive method we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false.Here r is false implies that it is required to consider the negation of statement r.This obtains the following statement.∼r: x is not 0.It can be seen that x2 + 4 will always be positive.x ≠ 0 implies that the product of any positive real number with x is not zero.Let us consider the product of x with x2 + 4.∴ x x2 + 4 ≠ 0⇒ x3 + 4x ≠ 0This shows that statement q is not true.Thus it has been proved that∼r ⇒∼qTherefore the given statement p is true.

levacccp [35]

a. The lateral area is the area of 5 congruent triangles. The strategy for computing their area will depend on the dimensions given. There are methods for computing triangle area based on side lengths, base length and height, coordinates of the points, and other dimensions. One straightforward way, given the appropriate dimensions is to multiply the slant height by the perimeter of the base, then divide that product by 2.


The base area is that of 5 congruent triangles. Again, their total area can be computed from half the product of the perimeter of the base and the apothem (height of the triangle).


The total surface area is the sum of lateral area and base area.


For example, given the apothem of the base (a) and the slant height of the side face (s), the total surface area (A) will be

... A = 5·a·tan(36°)·(a + s)


b. The volume is conventionally calculated as 1/3 of the product of the base area (B) and the height (h).

... V = (1/3)Bh


c. The volume of a prism with the same base area and height will be

... V = Bh

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of that.


d. A plane can intersect this pyramid to form a triangle, rectangle, trapezoid or other irregular quadrilateral, pentagon, or hexagon. The number of edges the cross-section has depends on the number of faces (including the base) the plane cuts. That number can be 3 through 6.

What angles of rotational symmetry are there for a regular hexagon?
adell [148]

Answer:

60°, 120°, 180°, 240° and 300°

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of a regular hexagon, there is a set of six movements to complete its one rotation. Now in one rotation, it will complete 360° of its circular motion. Now the formula to calculate the angle of rotation for any shape with equal length of its sides is:

Angle of rotation (Ф) = 360/Total number of sides

In this case, Ф = 360/6

                    Ф = 60

This formula is valid for every shape with equal sides, like in case of pentagon you will have 360/5 to calculate the angle of rotation.

Now in case of hexagon, at rotation of 60°, its rotation is symmetrical, which means rotation will not change its physical appearance, this is the case for next 60° rotation as well, or you can say that for 120° (60° before and 60° afterwards). This suit will follow for all the angles given in the answer section.
