Question

Medal + fan for answer & work out of this problem: Find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 10.4 yds long and a side 12 yds long. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

@563blackghost Could you help me one more time to make sure i've got this down.

Answer 2

Use the equation....

\(\Huge{\frac{1}{2}(a \times p)}\)

We are aware of the apothem but we need to know of the perimeter so we would multiply `12` by the number of sides....

Answer 3

So, 72 correct?

Answer 4

Correct :)

Now we input the apothem and the perimeter in the equation...

\(\Huge{A=\frac{1}{2}(10.4 \times 72)}\)

Answer 5

374.4?

Answer 6

Yup :)

Answer 7

Yay!! Thank you!
