Part A

$The \ circumradius, \ R = \dfrac{a}{cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)}$

Plugging in the given values we get;

$The \ circumradius, \ R = \dfrac{6 \cdot \sqrt{3} }{cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6} \right)} = \dfrac{6 \cdot \sqrt{3} }{\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \right)} = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3} } = 12$

R = 12 inches

The radius of the circumscribing circle is 12 inches

Part B

The length of each side of the hexagon, 's', is;

$s = a \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)$

Therefore;

$s = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6} \right) = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \right) = 12$

s = 12 inches

The perimeter, P = n × s = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

The perimeter of the hexagon is 72 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the regular hexagon are;

The length of the apothem of the regular hexagon, a = 6·√3 inches

The relationship between the apothem, 'a', and the circumradius, 'R', is given as follows;

$a = R \cdot cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)$

Where;

n = The number of sides of the regular polygon = 6 for a hexagon

'a = 6·√3 inches', and 'R' are the apothem and the circumradius respectively;

Part A

Therefore, we have;

$The \ circumradius, \ R = \dfrac{a}{cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)}$

Plugging in the values gives;

The circumradius, R = 12 inches

Part B

The length of each side of the hexagon, 's', is given as follows;

$s = a \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{n} \right)$

Therefore, we get;

$s = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{6} \right) = 6 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times 2 \times \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \right) = 12$

The length of each side of the hexagon, s = 12 inches

The perimeter of the hexagon, P = n × s = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

The perimeter of the hexagon = 72 inches

Answer from: Quest

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !

answer: 94

step-by-step explanation: 79+91+92+94+94 = 450 divided by 5 (since there are 5 number that are being added) = 90
