find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 10.4 yards long and a side 12 yards long. round your answer to the nearest tenth. show all your work

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is 374.4 yards.

There are 2 ways to calculate the area of a a regular hexagon.
It is given:
apothem: b = 10.4 yards
side: a = 12 yards

1. The direct way is to use the formula for the regular hexagon without using an apothem:
A= (3 √(3) )/(2) a^(2)
where
A - the area of the 
hexagon
a - the side of the 
hexagon

Therefore:
A= (3 √(3) )/(2) 12^(2)
A= (3 √(3) )/(2) 144
A= 374.4

2. The indirect way is to sketch the hexagon with 3 diagonals and create 6 triangles. Then, it is necessary to calculate the area of one triangle and multiply it by 6. In this triangle, apothem is actually the height.
The area of the hexagon is:
A = 6 · A₁
where:
A - the area of the hexagon,
A₁ - the area of the triangle

A_(1)= (a*h)/(2)

where
h - height of the triangle.


Since apothem (b) of the hexagon is the height (h) of the triangle, then:
A_(1)= (a*h)/(2)
A_(1)= (12*10.4)/(2)
A_(1)= 62.4

Thus, the area of one triangle is 62.4 yards.

To calculate the area of the hexagon, we will multiply it by 6:
A = 6 · A₁
A = 6 · 62.4
A = 374.4 yards

In both cases, the result is 374.4 yards.The answer is

HURRY PLEASE!!! Miguel is playing a game in which a box contains four chips with numbers written on them. Two of the chips have the number 1, one chip has the number 3, and the other chip has the number 5. Miguel must choose two chips, and if both chips have the same number, he wins $2. If the two chips he chooses have different numbers, he loses $1 (–$1).

Answer:the anser is a

Step-by-step explanation:

To check all the events (6), we label the chips. Suppose one chip with 1 is labeled R1 and the other B1 (as if they were red and blue). Now, lets take all combinations; for the first chip, we have 4 choices and for the 2nd chip we have 3 remaining choices. Thus there are 12 combinations. Since we dont care about the order, there are only 6 combinations since for example R1, 3 is the same as 3, R1 for us.

The combinations are: (R1, B1), (R1, 3), (R1, 5), (B1, 3), (B1, 5), (3,5)

We have that in 1 out of the 6 events, Miguel wins 2$ and in five out of the 6 events, he loses one. The expected value of this bet is: 1/6*2+5/6*(-1)=-3/6=-0.5$. In general, the expected value of the bet is the sum of taking the probabilities of the outcome multiplied by the outcome; here, there is a 1/6 probability of getting the same 2 chips and so on. On average, Miguel loses half a dollar every time he plays.

28.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.50 mL of water. the water level rises to the 49.10 mL mark. From this information, calculate the density of iron.

Answers

7.92 g/cm³ is the density of the iron sheet.

Density is calculated by the formula:

= Mass / Volume

The mass here is 28.5 g

The Volume is:

= Volume of water after iron shot added - Volume before shot added

= 49.10 - 45.50

= 3.6 mL

The units for density is g / cm³ so you need to convert the mL to cm³.

1 cm³ = 1 mL

3.6 mL is therefore 3.6 cm³.

Density is:

= 28.5 / 3.6

= 7.92 g / cm³

In conclusion, the density of the iron shot is 7.92 g /cm³.

Density=mass/volume.
1) we have to calculate the iron volume in liters.
iron volume=second level - first level=49.10 ml-45.50 ml=3.6 ml
3.6 ml=3.6 ml(1 liter / 1000 ml)=0.0036 liters 

2) we calculate the mass iron in kg.
28.5 g=28.5 g(1 kg /1000 g)=0.0285 kg.
2) we calculate the density of iron.
density=0.0285 kg / 0.0036 liters=7.92 kg/L

7.92 kg/l=7.92 kg/L(1000 g/1Kg)(1000 cm³/1 L)=7.92 g/cm³.

answer: From this information the Iron density is 7.92 Kg/L or  7.92 g/cm³.
