8. 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 7 centimeters, what will be the exact area of each hexagonal shape? (1 point) 21 cm² 73.5 sqrt 3cm² 98 sqrt 3 cm² 1,029 cm²

@lexiamee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do not know sorry .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh okay thanks anywhoo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont i like need to find the area for the triangle or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah basically youhave to find area of one the regular trianlges

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that would be 24.5 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get as your height of the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it would be 7? cuz its equilateral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now i can type again lol sorry... the area of 1 triangle is 24.5 cm now you have to find the area of the entire hexagon so you do \[6*(\frac{ 1 }{ 2}7*7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

147

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how are your choices organize like a.b.c i cant tell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a is 21cm^2 b is 73.5 sqrt 3 cm^2 c is 98 sqrt 3 cm^2 d is 1029 cm^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something isnt right hold up let me do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie dokie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so lets me clear something up are you looking for the area of the hexagon of of a triangle bc i just did the area of a triangle and i got 98

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk it just says this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see it says each hexagonal shape so im guessing the area of the hexagon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayyyy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got 126 as the area but it isnt one of the choices so you find what the choices are equal to which the closest to the 126 is 73.5sqrt3 cm^2 =127.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes most likely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hwlp me with another?

10. The trapezoids are similar. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 564 m². Find the area of the larger trapezoid to the nearest whole number. (1 point) 576 m² 3,249 m² 3,181 m² 14 m²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 3,181 m² lol got 100% :D thanks @Romero00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It takes 6 equilateral triangles to make a hexagon. Each equilaterial triangle area is A = (1/2)(base)*(height) = (1/2)(4)*(4 cos30) Multiply that by 6 is this it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 3,181 m²

I know This post is extremely old. But.|dw:1395516363637:dw|
