What is a regular hexagon?

A regular hexagon can be defined as a closed shape consisting of six equal sides and six equal angles.

Here we have two regular hexagons

one top small hexagon cake with a side of length = 3 in, height = 3 in

One big hexagon cake, side of length = 4 in, Height = 4 in

A slice cut such that it removes a side segment is equivalent to an equilateral triangle with a side

length = length of hexagon side

The length of the side of the removed equilateral triangle side

Top small cake slice triangle side = 3 in.

Area of surface of small slice = 1/2 x b x h = 1/2 x 3 x 3 x sin 60

                                                = 9√3/ 4

The volume of a small slice  

=  Area of surface small slice × Height of small cake

= 9√3/ 4  x 3

= 11. 69

Big cake slice triangle side = 4 in.

Area of the surface of big slice = 1/2 x 4 x 4 x sin 60

                                                    = 4√3

The volume of big slice =  Area of the surface of big slice × Height of big slice

= 16√3

= 28

The total volume of slice = Volume of small slice + Volume of big slice

Total volume of slice = 12 in³ +28 in³ = 40 in³

For the small cake,

the remaining volume = 5 x 11.69 = 58.45

For the big cake

the remaining volume = 5 x 27.71 = 138.56

Total volume remaining cake

= 58.45 in³ + 138.56 in³ = 197.014 in³

a = Length of side

h = Height of hexagon

The volume of each slice is,

= a^2 x h x √3/4

For the small cake, we have

a = 3 in.

h = 3 in.

The volume of small slice = a^2 x h x √3/4

                                   = 9 x 3 x √3/4

                                   = 27√3/4

For the big cake, we have

a = 4 in.

h = 4 in.

Volume of big slice =  a^2 x h x √3/4

                                = 16 √3

The total volume of slice = Volume of small slice + Volume of a big slice

Total volume of slice = 27√3/4 + 16 √3

The total volume of the slice = 39404 in³.

The marked price of a watch is 30% above the cost price. When it is sold allowing 20% discount on it, there is a gain of Rs 150. Find the marked price and the cost price of them.​​

Answers

Answer:

Marked price: Rs. 4875

Cost price: Rs. 3750

Explanation:

(i) Cost price: 100%

(ii) Marked price: (100% + 30%) = 130%

(i) Let the cost price be p

(ii)  Marked price: 130% × p = 1.3p

Given, 20% discount then sold at 80%

Discount price: (130% × 80%) × p = 1.04p - discounted price

Gain price: 1.04p - p = 0.04p

Cost price:

0.04p = 150

p = 150/0.04 = 3750 ← This is the cost price.

Marked price:

1.3p  =  1.3(3750) = Rs. 4875

The angle of elevation of the sun relative to an observer standing at the tip of the shadow is 16.9°.

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

Given that:-

A cell phone tower that is 70 meters tall is built on level ground and casts a shadow 230 meters long at a particular moment.

The angle of elevation will be calculated by applying trigonometric property in the triangle given below;-

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{70}{230}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1} (\dfrac{70}{230})[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] = tan[tex].^{-1}[/tex](0.3043)

[tex]\theta[/tex]  = 16.9

Therefore angle of elevation of the sun relative to an observer standing at the tip of the shadow is 16.9°.

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches. Which of the following lengths could be the length of the third side of the triangle? Select all that apply.

Answers

By using the triangular inequality, we conclude that the other side must measure more than 3 inches and less than 13 inches.

Which values could the length of the third side take?

Remember that the triangular inequality says that the sum of any two sides on a triangle is larger than the other side of the triangle.

If we define the missing side of the triangle as x, then we must have:

5 + x > 8

8 + x > 5

8 + 5 > x

From the third inequality we get the upper bound:

13 > x.

From the first inequality we get the lower bound:

x > 8 - 5 = 3

Then:

3 < x < 13

This means that the other side of the triangle must measure more than 3 inches and less than 13 inches.

Answers

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. Caitlin is right.

What is a Ratio?

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The ratio of the ages of Mandy and Sandy is 2:5. Therefore, the ratio will be,

M/S = 2/5

M = 2S/5

After 8 years, their ages will be in the ratio 1:2, therefore,

(M+8)/(S+8) = 1/2

2M + 16 = S + 8

2M - S = -16 + 8

Substitute the value of M,

2(2S/5) - S = -8

-0.2S = -8

S = 40

Now, if we substitute the value of S in the first ratio,

M/S = 2/5

M/40 = 2/5

M = 16

Now, if we take the difference in their ages the difference will be 24(40-16).

Since the difference is 24, we can conclude that Caitlin is right.

Hence, Caitlin is right.

A high school student named David Merrell did a study of how music affects the ability of rats to run a maze. He trained 71 rats to run a maze. Next he randomly divided the rats to three groups. Each group had 23 or 24 rats. For the next month, one group of rats listened all day to heavy metal music by the group Anthrax. One group listened all day to Mozart. One group never heard music. The rats ran the same maze three times a week for a month. The response variable is the time in seconds to complete the maze. By the end of the month he compared the average run time for each treatment group to the average run time for the control group. The Anthrax group was much slower at running the maze. The Mozart group was much faster. The differences are statistically significant at the 1% level. Run times are not heavily skewed in any group. What conclusion can we draw from these results

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Heavy Metal "music" impacts negatively the long term memory, if at least the ability to access it.

while harmonic music has no blocking effect or maybe even strengthens the long term memory and the ability to access it.

here 3 remarks.

first 2 scientifically from psychology : memory works mostly associative. that means brains do not store absolute information like a digital computer, but always in combination and association with other pieces of information. if there is nothing else to remember (like a more or less random pattern of sound effects for that the brain cannot find a rule or concept for), there are no associations with presented pieces of information, and the storage and access to it is much harder and restricted.

and - loud crashing and seemingly random noise triggers the panic mode in our brains. and panic is the mode favoring pure instinct and suppressing cognitive functions.

and finally, personally, it just confirms what I literally feel when listening to such music : it destroys at that moment any ability to keep a straight thought, prolonged exposure gives me the feeling that something gets broken inside my brain and thought processes.

I suspect that this is exactly the feeling that the fans of this kind of music are after (kind of like most drugs), but I am not surprised that there actually is something broken in the brain (again, as with drugs).

✭ Question -:

The ratio of adults to children at a party is 3:5. There are 72 people at the party. Find out number of children.

✭ Explanation -:

In this question we are provided with the ratio of adult and children 3 : 5 respectively. It is given that 72 people are there at the party. We are asked to calculate number of children.

We are asked to calculate number of children

Let us assume number of adults and children as 3x and 5x

It is given that total number of people are 72.

According To Question

3x + 5x = 72

→ 8x = 72

→ x = 72/8 = 9

x = 9

Adults = 3x = 3 × 9 = 27 people

Children = 5x = 5 × 9 = 45 people

Hence, there are 45 children in the party.

On Monday a builder built 5/9 of a wall. On Tuesday he added the last 180 bricks to finish the wall. How many bricks are there in the wall?

Answers

Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

So he built 5/9 of the wall, than added the extra 180 bricks to finish the wall.

so 5/9 + 180 = 9/9

so 180 = 4/9 Because 5/9 + 4/9 = 9/9

So to figure out how many bricks are in the wall we want to know what 1/9 of bricks equals and to work this out we need to divide 180 by 4

which equals 45.

Now we know that 1/9 = 45

so now to figure out what 9/9 is just multiply 45 by 9 which equals 405

Answer:

405 bricks in total

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 5/9 = 4/9

So 4/9 of the bricks are remaining, and "the last 180 bricks" is equal to 4/9

Using ratio method:

4/9 : 180

5/9 : x

x = 180 × 5/9 ÷ 4/9

x = 225

So 180 + 225 = 405 bricks in total
