How to Solve a Hexagon

Updated October 23, 2018

By Chris Deziel

A polygon is any closed two-dimensional figure with 3 or more straight (not curved) sides, and a 12-sided polygon is known as a dodecagon. A regular dodecagon is one with equal sides and angles, and it's possible to derive a formula for calculating its area. An irregular dodecagon has sides of different lengths and different angles. A six-pointed star is an example. There's no easy way to calculate the area of an irregular 12-sided figure unless you happen to have it plotted on a graph and can read the coordinates of each of the vertices. If not, the best strategy is to divide the figure into regular shapes for which you can calculate the area.

Calculating the Area of a Regular 12-Sided Polygon

To calculate the area of a regular dodecagon, you have to find its center, and the best way to do that is to scribe a circle around it that just touches each of its vertices. The center of the circle is the center of the dodecagon, and the distance from the center of the figure to each of its vertices is simply the radius of the circle (r). Each of the 12 sides of the figure is the same length, so denote this by s.

You need one more measurement, and that's the length of a perpendicular line drawn from the midpoint of each side to the center of the 12-sided shape. This line is known as the apothem. Denote its length by m. It divides each section formed by the radius lines into two right-angled triangles. You don't know m, but you can find it using the Pythagorean theorem.

The 12 radius lines divide the circle you scribed around the dodecagon into 12 equal sections, so at the center of the figure, the angle each line makes with the one next to it is 30 degrees. Each of the 12 sections formed by the radius lines is made up of a pair of right-angled triangles with hypotenuse r and one angle of 15 degrees. The side adjacent to the angle is m, so you can find it using r and the sine of the angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The area of the polygon is  344.18 square inches.

What is the area?

The area is the amount of area occupied by an object's flat (2-D) surface or shape.

Given:

A regular 12-gon has a side length of 8 inches.

Apothem of the polygon,

a = {8/2(tan180/8)}

a = 8/2tan22.5

a = 7.17 inches.

The area of the polygon,

= 12 x 8 x 7.17 / 2

= 344.18 square inches.

Therefore, the area is 344.18 square inches.

The Child Health and Development Studies investigate a range of topics. One study considered all pregnancies between 1960 and 1967 among women in the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan in the San Francisco East Bay area. Here, we study the relationship between smoking and weight of the baby. The variable smoke is coded 1 if the mother is a smoker, and 0 if not.

The researchers found that 52 of the 60 stores had more than 2 items that were priced inaccurately (the national standards allow a maximum of 2 items out of 100 items priced accurately by the scanners). a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned and give a practical interpretation of this interval. (3 Points) b) Wal-Mart claims that 99% of its stores comply with the national standard on accuracy of price scanners. Comment on the believability of Wal-Mart’s claim based on your results in part (a). (1 Point) c) Determine the number of Wal-Mart stores that must be sampled in order to estimate the true proportion to within 0.05 with 90% confidence. (3 Points)

Answers

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is

   [tex] 0.7811 <  p <  0.9529 [/tex]

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

b

  Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

c

 [tex] n =  125  \  stores [/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  60  

    The number of stores that had more than 2 items price incorrectly is  k =  52  

   

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

             [tex]\^ p = \frac{ k }{ n }[/tex]

=>          [tex]\^ p = \frac{ 52 }{ 60 }[/tex]

=>          [tex]\^ p = 0.867[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} } [/tex]

=>   [tex]E =  1.96  * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.867  (1- 0.867)}{60} } [/tex]

=>   [tex]E =  0.0859  [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E[/tex]

=>    [tex] 0.867  - 0.0859  <  p <  0.867  +  0.0859 [/tex]

=>    [tex] 0.7811 <  p <  0.9529 [/tex]

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

Considering question b

Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

   

Considering question c

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  E = 0.05

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=> [tex]n=  [\frac{1.645 }}{0.05} ]^2 * 0.867  (1 - 0.867 ) [/tex]

=>   [tex] n =  125  \  stores [/tex]

Problem 1

Answers:

Cone: TriangleCylinder: RectangleSphere: Circle

------------------------

Explanation:

Imagine a fan blade rotating. As it rotates really quickly, it occupies a 3D space. Or perhaps imagining rotating eggbeaters is a better thing to have in mind. Those blades spin really fast to form a 3D shape. So that's what's going on with this problem. If you spin a triangle around an axis, a cone will form. The base of the triangle forms the base of the cone. Half the base of the triangle is the radius of the cone. The height of the triangle is the height of the cone.

Similarly, a rectangle rotated around its center axis forms a cylinder. Think of a revolving door. That's often a classic example. Finally, a circle spun around any of its diameters will form a sphere.

========================================================

Problem 2

Answers:

Object 1: Cup = CylinderObject 2: Ball = SphereObject 3: Funnel = ConeObject 4: Paper towel roll = Cylinder

-------------------------------

Explanation:

Pick objects around your house that are fairly simple in design and resemble either a cylinder, sphere, or cone. A cup resembles a cylinder just it doesn't have a top to it. A ball is a 3D sphere that has an interior to it, unless the ball is filled with air. A funnel resembles a cone due to its triangular shape of sorts. A paper towel roll (the card board piece or the cardboard plus the actual paper towels) resemble a cylinder as well. You can pick any four other objects you have around your house such as a cylindrical speaker, batteries (shaped as a cylinder), soup cans (also cylinders), and so on.

========================================================

Problem 3

Answers:

a) volume of cylinder = pi*r^2*hb) volume of sphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3c) volume of pyramid = (1/3)*L*W*Hd) volume of cone = (1/3)*pi*r^2*h

-------------------------------

Explanation:

These formulas are what you should memorize or have handy on a flashcard. It is possible to derive them, but it would require calculus to do so. Also, such a process is quite length. So memorization or flashcards are the better way to go.

For the cylinder and cone, r is the radius and h is the height. Note how the formulas are nearly identical except the cone has the (1/3) term. This shows that the cone's volume is 1/3 that of the cylinder's volume where they both have the same radius r and height h.

The sphere also deals with the radius r, but we don't have to worry about the height of the sphere (it's really just 2r).

For the pyramid, L,W,H represent the length width and height respectively. The length and width form the base of the pyramid. Recall that L*W*H is the volume of a rectangular block. The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of that rectangular block's volume.

If all of a 2D object's sides and angles have different lengths, such shape is said to be irregular.

What is 2D shape?

In geometry, a form or figure having length and breadth is referred to as a "2D shape." Due to the lack of a thickness, a third dimension, such as the case of a prism or a cube, two-dimensional or 2D objects are often measured in terms of their two faces.

'2D' refers for 2-dimensional. A 2D shape is any form that has two dimensions. Consider for a moment what it means to have two dimensions. We could only move backwards or forwards in a straight line if we only had one dimension to work with. One dimension is a line.

Cylinder: Rectangle
