All of the triangles in the figure below are congruent. What is the area of the figure? Note that all measurements are in centimeters. Note that the apothem shown is equal to 2 square root of 3
I'm not sure. That's all it says
Okay, there are 6 triangles all the same size. The area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * B * H. B = 4 , H = 2. 4 * 2 = 8 * 1/2 = 4 so all the areas of the triangles are 4 but there are 6 triangles so 4 times 6 is 24. But notice the hexagon in the center, you probably also need the area for that.
48 + 24 squareroot of 3 24 squareroot of 3 48 squareroot of 3 24 + 24 squareroot of 3
those are the possible answers
Hm....

On how to find the middle
ok thanks
Yup. Remember to add in the triangles on the outside too.
