What is the amount of tax paid for an item that is 58.73 at a tax rate of 6.5%

$3.81745 or just $3.82

Step-by-step explanation:

6.5 of 100 is 6.5 so if we divide by 2 we know the answer will be at LEAST 3.25 so this answer makes sense. In your calculator you can do:   58.73 * .065

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
