Fill in each slot in the square with variables <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, <em>d</em>, and <em>e</em>, in order from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. In a magic square, the sums across rows, columns, and diagonals all add up to the same number called the <em>magic sum</em>.
The magic sum is -3.9, since "diagonal 2" (bottom left to top right) has all the information we need:
3 + (-1.3) + (-5.6) = -3.9
Use this to find the remaining elements
<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + (-5.6) = -3.9
<em>c</em> + (-1.3) + <em>d</em> = -3.9
3 + <em>e</em> + 0.02 = -3.9
<em>a</em> + <em>c</em> + 3 = -3.9
<em>b</em> + (-1.3) + <em>e</em> = -3.9
(-5.6) + <em>d</em> + 0.02 = -3.9
- diagonal 1 (top left to bottom right):
<em>a</em> + (-1.3) + 0.02 = -3.9
You will find
<em>a</em> = -2.62
<em>b</em> = 4.32
<em>c</em> = -4.28
<em>d</em> = 1.68
<em>e</em> = -6.92
This is a hexagonal prism: Volume = Area of Base (hexagon) x Height:
There are 6 equal equilateral triangles in a hexagone.
The apothem (or altitude of each triangle) = side x (√3)/2 =12(√3)/2 = 6√3
Area of ONE equilateral triangle = (side x altitude)/2:
Area of ONE equilateral triangle = (12 x 6√3)/2 = 36√3 ft²
Area of the SIX equilateral triangles = 36√3 x 6 = 216√3 ft²
VOLUME = BASE X HEIGHT = 216√3 x 15 = 3240√3 ft³
OR VOLUME = 5612 ft³
Mixture B is the right answer
Ooh so the directions tell us what we need to find the entire line, which is made up of FH. so just add GH (15) and FG (6) together to find FH. so that is 21. FH=21.
