Question

Find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem of 9 in. and a side length of 12 in.

A. 432 sq. in.
B. 324 sq. in.
C. 243 sq. in.
D. 54 sq. in.

Answer 1

approach the problem by splitting it into triangles. use the apothem as the height.

Answer 2

Area = 1/2 * (perimeter) * (apothem)
Area = 1/2 * (6 * sides) * (apothem)

Answer 3

well if you have the formulas then just plug and chug lol...
1/2*(12*6)*12

Answer 4

1/2*(12*6)*9 = 324? which is B ! thanks @sylbot

Answer 5

oops I said 12, I meant 9, youre right,
