I NEED HELP IN NUMBER 2

Answer 1

My problem is that I don't understand where "3 ft" is referring too. You just need the length of a base edge and the height.

Answer 2

@dtan5457 , I think that 3 ft is referring to the height, 3.5 the radius, and 4 the base edge.

Answer 3

Note: I know it is not called the radius on a hexagon, but I cannot think of the name right now :)

Answer 4

But the radius won't even be needed to solve for the volume, right?

Answer 5

No, it shouldn't be needed

Answer 6

Hmm, thanks for the clarification.

Answer 7

Unless they were taught the formula 3abh
