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
i do not know sorry .
ugh okay thanks anywhoo
do you know the formula?
dont i like need to find the area for the triangle or something
yeah basically youhave to find area of one the regular trianlges
and that would be 24.5 right?
what did you get as your height of the triangle
well it would be 7? cuz its equilateral
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 \[6*(\frac{ 1 }{ 2}7*7)\]
147
how are your choices organize like a.b.c i cant tell
a is 21cm^2 b is 73.5 sqrt 3 cm^2 c is 98 sqrt 3 cm^2 d is 1029 cm^2
something isnt right hold up let me do it
okie dokie
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
idk it just says this

see it says each hexagonal shape so im guessing the area of the hexagon
okayyyy
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
so that would be the answer

yes most likely
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
?
its 3,181 m² lol got 100% :D thanks @Romero00
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
its 3,181 m²
I know This post is extremely old. But.|dw:1395516363637:dw|
