In the following regular hexagon, which is 6m + 2n?
A. 325 degrees
B. 310 degrees
C. 295 degrees
D. 340 degrees
In a regular pentagon ABCDE and regular hexagon MNOPQR, 3CD = 2PQ and CD + QR = 10. Which is 4BC + 5PQ?
A. 46
B. 42
C. 44
D. 40
The vertex angles of a regular hexagon each measure 120°
Therefore,
3m + 40 = 120 2n - 30 = 120
3m = 80 2n = 150
So
6m = 160
6m + 2n =
160 + 150 =
310°
Second one
Let the side of the pentagon = x
Let the side of the hexagon = y
3x = 2y ⇒ 3x - 2y = 0 (1)
x + y = 10 ⇒ 2x + 2y = 20 (2)
Add (1) and (2) and we have that
5x = 20
x = 4
And x + y =10....so y = 6
4BC + 5PQ =
4x + 5y =
4(4) + 5(6) =
46
