A square has an area of the side length squared(s2); a regular hexagon has a perimeter of “t”. If “p” is the perimeter of the square and “h” is a side of the hexagon, then find h+p in terms of s and t.

Respuesta :

Area of square = length * width or side * side , as 'S' is length of one side  

Sum of 4 sides of square = perimeter of square, so  

4S = p  .... (1)

Hexagon has 6 sides, so perimeter T is 6 * side of hexagon = 6*h

6h = T or

h = [tex]\frac{T}{6}[/tex] .... (2)

We have to find h + p in terms of 's' and 't' so, adding (1) and (2) we get

[tex]\frac{T}{6}+4S[/tex]


Answer:

The value of  h+p in terms of s and t is:

             [tex]h+p=\dfrac{t}{6}+4s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a polygon--

It is the sum of all the the side lengths of a polygon.

Now, we are given a square whose side length is: s units

and perimeter is: p units

This means that:

[tex]p=s+s+s+s[/tex]

( since, there are 4 sides in  a square and all sides are of equal length )

Hence, we get:

[tex]p=4s[/tex]

Also, we are given a regular hexagon ( i.e. the hexagon is equilateral and equiangular) with side length h and perimeter t.

This means that:

[tex]t=h+h+h+h+h+h[/tex]

( since there are 6 sides in a hexagon)

Hence, we have:

[tex]6h=t\\\\i.e.\\\\h=\dfrac{t}{6}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]h+p=\dfrac{t}{6}+4s[/tex]
