find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem of 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the equation for area of a hexagon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what type of an eqation to find the degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like 360/2/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area = (½)(apothem)(perimeter)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do you find the perimeter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

say you have a right triangle the left side of it would be 1 and the bottom is the side so it would be X then you use the equation 360/2/6 to find the angle to do either sin,tan,or cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then you know how to solve this problem..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no then you have to figure out what the area and i'm stuck after you use tan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well show me how far you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan(30)*1
