Hi,

I really need help seeing if I answered the following correct:


I'll give you an assumption, and ask you to provide proof for the assumption.  If there is no proof for the assumption, the answer is "unfounded."

I choose A

1. If I have two coplanar lines, I must have a plane.

A-unfounded
B-Definition of a point
C-Definition of a plane
D-Given
E -Definition of a line
F -Definition of radius

I choose B and it was incorrect but why doesn't the angle change because  the size is getting bigger.

1. An angle changes in size as it undergoes a dilation.
A False
BTrue

#59 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-12-02 08:28:13

ok since (C=pD) I would divide the circumference by PI to get D then divide it by 2 to get R

#60 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-12-02 04:44:10

Volume = π × r2 × (h/3)

#61 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-12-02 04:43:03

I would measure the height using a tape measure then half the height I would draw a line around the circle and measure the height across and divide it by 2 and use that as a  radius

#62 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-12-01 03:59:43

This is the last question am stuck on

7. Come up with a way to find the area and volume of a football. Include in your answer a way to acquire any necessary measurements without cutting or otherwise destroying the football. Also include all necessary formulas to implement your idea. (You don't need to find actual numbers, just outline the method in step by step detail--think of all the measurements you'll need to acquire and how you'll get them.)

7. ok So a football looks like two cones attached So I can uses the same formula I use for a cone right?

#65 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-11-30 09:11:21

5. OK I need to find the area to get the length of each side . If H is 18 that means the apothem equals 9 So that means the area = A^2 * N * tan * (180/n)
                                                                                                                                                                                    area= 9^2 * 6 * tan * (180/6) = 280.59

3 (√3 /2) * S²  = 280.59 ======> s² = 280.59 * 2 / 3 * √3 = 107.9991414

#66 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-11-30 03:53:11

Thank you so so much....

Ok I solved the following using formulas I know and the formula you used :


3. If a hexagon has a radius (center to point of angle) of 6, what is the side of the hexagon?

3. Ok I need to find the area to get the side. So I know that if I have the radius I can find the area by doing the following : A = r² * N * sin(360/n) / 2
                                                                                                                                                                             A=  6² * 6 * sin(360/6) / 2 = 93.53074361
                                                                                                                                                                             
I know that area = 3 sqrt(3) / 2 * side² So S=  93.53074361 / 3sqrt(3)/2 which equales 36 So the side of the hexogon = 36

4. If a hexagon has a radius (center to point of angle) of 6, what is the area of the hexagon?

4.  A = r² * N * sin(360/n) / 2
     A=  6² * 6 * sin(360/6) / 2 = 93.53074361
So the area of the hexagon = 93.53074361

5. If a hexagon is resting on a flat side, and has a total height of 18, what is the length of each side of the hexagon?

5. Ok I need to find the area to get the length of each side . If H is 18 that means the apothem equales 9 So that means the area = A^2 * N * tan * (180/n)
                                                                                                                                                                                    area= 9^2 * 6 * tan * (180/6) = 280.59
So I know that the area  for a regular hexagon = 3SQRT(3) / 2  multipliyed by S^2
280.59 = 3SQRT(3) /2 * S^2
S^2 = 280.59 / 3SQRT (3) = 81

So the length of each side of the hexagon = 81

6. If a hexagon is resting on a flat side, and has a total height of 18, what is the area of the hexagon?

6- If H is 18 that means the apothem equales 9 So that means the area = A^2 * N * tan * (180/n)
   area= 9^2 * 6 * tan * (180/6) = 280.59

#67 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-11-29 11:05:31

yeah am stuck on where to start

#68 Re: Help Me ! » area review » 2012-11-29 10:34:45

Thank you smile

Ok am stuck on this one
If a hexagon has an area of 100 units, what is the length of one side?

So the equation would be : 100= 3√3 / 2 * s² right?

Hi,

I really need help seeing if I answered correctly:

1. If a hexagon has a side of 3 units, what is the area of the hexagon?

#1- 3² * 6 / 4* Tan(180/6) = 27√3/2 = 23.38

#71 Re: Help Me ! » Area and Volume of Prisms and Pyramids » 2012-11-28 03:03:53

#12-
4²+3²=c²
16+9=25
√25=5

5*2+6=16
16*8=128

So #12- D

#13- Longest side is 6 So 6*8= 48

So I got the 8 by multiplying 4 *2 right?

#72 Re: Help Me ! » Area and Volume of Prisms and Pyramids » 2012-11-28 01:50:54

So now I have to get the area of the base and multiply it by the height of the prism to get the volume right?

half base = 3
height =  3√15 / 2
So 1/2 * 3  *  3√15 / 2 = 9√15/4

9√15/4 * 8 = 18√15

#73 Re: Help Me ! » Area and Volume of Prisms and Pyramids » 2012-11-27 12:26:03

ok So number #5-

p=15
LA= 15*8=120

V=BH
But when I used the  Pythagoras theorem I got

a²+b²=c²
1.5²+b²=6²

2.25+b²=36

b²= 15/4

b= 3√15 / 2
