Laura is constructing an inscribed square. Gavin is constructing an inscribed regular hexagon. In your own words, describe one difference between Laura’s construction steps and Gavin’s construction steps. (10 points)

positive

step-by-step explanation:

the quadrant is facing upwards

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

1. 16.64

a^2+b^2=c^2

pr^2=pq^2+qr^2

pr^2=14^2+ 9^2

pr^2=196+81

pr= sqr root of 277

16.64

2. 11.31

c^2-a^2=b^2

18^2- 14^2=b^2

b^2=324-196

b=sqr root of 126

b=11.31

hope it ! (btw im in connections academy to, good luck! )

apex answer is: true.
