You are planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. The tiles are blue and white equilateral triangles. You decide to arrange the blue tiles in a hexagonal shape as shown. If the side of each tile measures 9 centimeters, what will be the exact area of each hexagonal shape?

Question

anonymous · Answer

find the height of the triangle.  then you can find the area of one triangle.  9 is the base and you just found the height.  Then multiply that by 6 to find the area of the hexagon.
