Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b be the sides of the equilateral triangle and the regular hexagon respectively as shown in figures (1) and (2).

The area of the equilateral having side a is

Now, join all the 6 corner points of the regular hexagon to the center of the hexagon as shown in figure (3).

As there are 6 equal sides, so angle subtended by each side at the center is 360/6=60 degrees.

Considering the triangle POR:

degree [angle at center]

As sides PO=RO, so  degree.

Hence, triangle POR is an equilateral triangle.

Similarly, all the remaining 5 triangles are equilateral triangles.

So, the area of hexagon = 6 x Area of triangle POR

As the length of sides of the triangle POR is b,

so the area of the triangle POR .

Hence, the area of the regular hexagon,

As the equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon have the same area, so from the equations (i)and (ii), we have

Given that the ratio of the side length of the regular hexagon to the side length of the equilateral triangle, b/a= m/√n.

On comparing with the equation (iii), we have

m=1 and n=6

Hence, m+n=1+6=7.

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
