easy i will help

I want to learn how to do it with my brain.
medal pls?
Ok
Do you know the formula for area of a hexagon?
No I don't, sleepyjess
Okay, the formula is \(\dfrac{3\sqrt 3}{2}*a^2\). In this formula, a is the length of one side
Area = (3*3(sqrt)/2) * a(sq)
60/6 = 10 units each side
inches*
Yep, so \(\dfrac{3\sqrt 3}2 *1-^2\)
That should be \(10^2\)
(3*(sqrt)3/2)*10(sq) (3*(sqrt)3/2)*100 (5.2/2)*100
2.6*100 = 26
Does it tell you to round to a certain decimal place?
No I just rounded when doing the math, I rounded to the nearest hundreths
Okay, normally I keep it at the nearest hundredths, but you actually rounded to the nearest tenth
It's multiple choice here's the answers : 75 (sqrt of 3) 150 (sqrt of 3) 300 (sqrt of 3) 600 (sqrt of 3)
Oh, okay, they don't want you to multiply the \(\sqrt 3\). So we multiply the 3 *100, that will be \(\dfrac{300\sqrt 3}{2}\) Then just divide the 300 by 2
Okay So 150 (sqrt 3)
Thanks again sleepyjess! You're a great help I'm a fan
No problem! :)
Thank you for participating instead of just using an online calculator :)
Haha, well I actually enjoy mathematics it's a puzzle. I just needed a guide.
