How do I solve the surface area of a hexagonal prism when the hexagon base has an area of 509 in2 and a height of 14 in? I don't need the answer I need an explanation.

base time hight

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula SA = 6(a + h), where s = side length of the base, a = apothem length, and h = height of the prism.

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
