OpenStudy (acxbox22):

area of any regular polygon = 1/2 x apothem x perimeter

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

x is times?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

so first find the perimeter of the hexagon and yes x is times

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

how would i find the perimeter?

OpenStudy (matlee):

i think its 4*360/6

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

you know a hexagon has 6 sides and all sides are equal and you are given one side length so multiply the side length by 6 to find perimeter

OpenStudy (matlee):

oh nvm

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

72

@acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

yes correct now multiply by apothem and by 0.5

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

374.4?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

correct :)

@acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

you can use the formula Area = side 1 x side 2 x sin(angle)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

can you show an example?
