What is the length of the apothem, rounded to the nearest inch? recall that in a regular hexagon, the length of the radius is equal to the length of each side of the hexagon. 4 in. 5 in. 9 in. 11 in.

The third option, or 9, is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the apothem can be found using the pythagorean theorem. Since the length of each side of the hexagon is 10, the base of the triangle is 5, since 10/2=5. Plugging these two values into the pythagorean equation leaves 25+b^2=100.

B^2 = 75, so the length of the apothem is sqrt(75)

this is approximately 8.66, so the answer is 9.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
