3. A regular hexagon has six equilateral triangles with a common
endpoint. If the height of one of those triangles is 8 inches explain
why the perimeter of the hexagon is 55.43 inches.

if the height of the triangle is 8 in, its side is 9.2379, and this side is also the side of the hexagon, so the perimeter is 6*9.2379 = 55.43 in

Step-by-step explanation:

As the hexagon is regular, each of those triangles will also be regular.

So if the height of one triangle is 8 inches, we can find the side of the triangle with the height formula of a regular triangle:

height = side * sqrt(3)/2

8 = side * 0.866

side = 8/0.866 = 9.2379

The side of the triangle will also be the side of the hexagon. So the perimeter of the hexagon will be:

P = 6 * 9.2379 = 55.43 inches

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
