how about this one @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Area of regular polygon : (perimeter)*apothem / 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

start by finding the perimeter of hexagon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know how to start it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

perimeter is simply the lentgh around a shape

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since each side is 22, and we have 6 sides, perimeter = 22*6 = 132

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 22*18?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Area of polygonn= (perimeter)*apothem / 2 = (132) * 19.05 / 2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 1257.3 @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! thats the area of entire polygon, but we want oly the shaded region right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

calculate the area of rectangle, and subtract it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

area of rectangle = 18*22 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

396?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah 861.30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

perfect !
