Please help !

Find the area of a regular hexagon with a 48-inch perimeter.

48√3 in2

96√3 in2

192√3 in2

in2 means inches squared

Answer 1

Since this is a regular hexagon, what is the measure of each internal angle?

Answer 2

a regular hexagon forms 6 equilateral triangles

Answer 3

I honestly have no clue :( @mathstudent55

Answer 4

actually would it be 8in ?

Answer 5

Ok, in a polygon of n sides, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is given by the formula 180(n - 2)
In your case you have 6 sides, so use 6 for n in 180(n - 2). What value do you get?

Answer 6

No. 8 in. is the length of one side.
We are now looking for the measure of the angles.

Answer 7

so would you do 180(6-2) ?

Answer 8

so 180*4 ?

Answer 9

Correct. What is 180*4?

Answer 10

Just multiply it out.
