Question

whats the volume of the hexagon?

Answer 1

the cross-sectional area of a hexagon prisim is 15cm2. Its height is 6cm. calculate the volume of the prisim.

Answer 2

First we assume it is a regular hexagon meaning all the angles are the same and the sides are the same length. Recalling that a regular hexagon can be broken up into 6 triangles, we find the area of the hexagon by finding the area of one triangle and multiply by six.
(recall the area of triangle is Height x 1/2 Base )
