For question 8, since m∠C = 45 degrees and a = 1.5 in, we can use the 45-45-90 Triangle Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of each leg. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 1.5 * √2 = 2.12 inches (rounded to two decimal places).
For question 9, if the polygon is a regular hexagon with side length s = 4 yds and apothem a = 2√(3), then the area of the hexagon can be found using the formula for the area of a regular polygon: A = (1/2) * P * a, where P is the perimeter of the polygon and a is the apothem. The perimeter of the hexagon is P = 6s = 6 * 4 = 24 yds. Therefore, the area of the hexagon is A = (1/2) * P * a = (1/2) * 24 * 2√(3) = 24√(3) square yards, or approximately 41.6 square yards when rounded to the nearest tenth.
