7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a:b = 8:5

a = 8x, b= 5x

a+b = 91

13x = 91

x = 7

a=8x = 56

b = 5x = 35

The larger number is 56

A regular hexagon has sides of 3 feet. What is the area of the hexagon?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$13.5\sqrt{3}\:\text{ft}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The side of a regular hexagon is 3 feet.

To find: Area of the hexagon

Solution:

It is given that the side of a regular hexagon is 3 feet.

We know that the area of a regular hexagon whose side is a units is $\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2}$

Here, the side is 3 feet

So, area of the regular hexagon

$=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} \times3^{2}$

$=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} \times9$

$=\frac{27\sqrt{3} }{2}$

$=13.5\sqrt{3}\:\text{ft}^{2}$

Hence, area of the regular hexagon is $13.5\sqrt{3}\:\text{ft}^{2}$

What are the slope between (-5,-2) and (8,13)

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The slope:

$m = \frac{15}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-To determine the slope of the following points shown, you need this formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

( $m$ represents the slope, $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ represents the first coordinate and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ represents the second coordinate)

-Apply the following points to the formula:

$m = \frac{13 + 2}{8 + 5}$

Then, solve:

$m = \frac{13 + 2}{8 + 5}$

$m = \frac{15}{13}$

So, the slope is $\frac{15}{13}$ .
