along the circumference?
a. 32mm b. 36mm c. 24mm d. 10mm
Drawing hexagon inscribed in a circle will have 6 points on the circumference of a circle.
Connecting these points will show the sides of the hexagon (16mm in length). Drawing a line
from the center of the circle to the 6 points of a hexagon will create 6 equilateral triangles
with one of the sides is the same length as the hexagon (16mm). One of the side of the
equilateral triangle becomes the radius of the circle, which is also 16mm since equilateral
triangle has equal sides. With radius is given, the diameter, D = 2R ; Ans D = 2 (16) = 32mm

back. What was the wind velocity in kph
a. 50 b. 60 c. 70 d. 40
Velocity = distance / time
V1 – velocity of airplane ; V2 – velocity of wind
V1 + V2 = 1000/ 2 = 500 kph or V1 + V2 = 500 …eq. 1 (flying with the wind)
V1 – V2 = 1000/ 2.5 = 400 kph or V2 = V1 – 400 …eq. 2 (flying back against the wind)
Equate eq 2 to eq. 1 ,
V1 + V2 = 500 ; V1 + (V1 – 400) = 500 ; 2V1 = 500+ 400 ; V1 = 450 kph
V2 = V1 – 400 ; V2 = 450 – 400 = 50kph
