A regular hexagon has an area of 750.8 cm. The side length is 17 cm. Find the apothem.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(A = \dfrac{Pa}{2} \) where A = area of regular polygon P = perimeter a = apothem

750.8=51x

Correct. Now solve for a, the apothem.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Solve for a. Divide both sides by 51. 750.8 = 51a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.7 is the apothem

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes.
