Is this correct? *

OpenStudy (-welp-):

Area of each hexagonal shape= 24^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 3\sqrt{3} }{ 2 } a^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug it in and try

OpenStudy (-welp-):

|dw:1438258025935:dw| Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area for a hexafonal shape is \[\left(\begin{matrix}3\sqrt{3} \\ 2\end{matrix}\right) a ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where a is the side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hexagonal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24^2 = Not correct

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

The area of a hexagon is : \(\dfrac{1}{2}aP\) a = apothem = height of each triangle P = perimeter around the polygon

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

But that formula applies to all polygons.

If you choose the center point as the origin, you will find that all the interior sides of the hexagon are congruent, meaning all the interior angles are 60\(^\circ\)
