Question

Can i get help with Area and Perimeters of Polygons?

Answer 1

@the_ocean_girl can you help with this?

Answer 2

Ouch sorry Clash. Not in that part of geometry yet!

Answer 3

okay cx
thanks anyways cx

Answer 4

So what work have you gotten done on it so far?

Answer 5

the area of the unshaded section is 320 and thats it...

Answer 6

And do you have any clue how you'd find the shaded area?

Answer 7

not exactly i saw the formula (i think) somewhere but i cant find it now...

Answer 8

Well to find the shaded area we would do \[\large \sf Area~of~hexagon~-~Area~of~unshaded~region~=~Area~of~shaded~area\] Since we have the area of the unshaded region, what we need to find now is the area of the hexagon. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 9

Honestly no. i didn't read the section on it....
but im willing to learn how cx

Answer 10

Probably the easiest way is \[\large \sf Area= \frac{1}{2} \times perimeter \times apothem\] but you can only use this way if you have the apothem.

Answer 11

witch i do cx

Answer 12

apothem = 17.32

Answer 13

so 1/2(20*6)17.32

Answer 14

Yup

Answer 15

1039.2?

Answer 16

so A?

Answer 17

Yup. Now subtract the area of the unshaded region to get your answer.

Answer 18

710 B

Answer 19

Correct

Answer 20

thanks cx

Answer 21

No problem
