Find the area of the base of the regular pyramid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

the base is a hexagon with sides of length 9. think of the hexagon as 6 equilateral triangles where the height is 7.79 **use pythagorean theorem h^2 = 9^2 - (4.5)^2 so Area = 6*(9)(7.79)(1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 210.33

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

correct approximately due to rounding

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

exact height is 9*sqrt(3)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (radar):

"In approximate numeric terms, the area of a regular hexagon is 2.598 times the square of its side length". David King

I tried it and it came out approx 210
