The safe load, L, of a wooden beam of width w, height h, and length l, supported at both ends, varies directly as the product of the width and the square of the height, and inversely as the length. A wooden beam 3 inches wide, 5 inches high, and 240 inches long can hold a load of 960 pounds. What load would a beam 6 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 192 inches long, of the same material, support? (Round off your answer to the nearest integer.)

-1/2 +2

step-by-step explanation:

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.
