OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Apothem is perpendicular line from center of the triangle to any side of it

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum11):

Area = (6^2) * 3 * tan(180 / 3) = 108 tan(60) = 108sqrt(3) inches^2

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum11):

is this right?

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum11):

coming from me it might not be.

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum11):

at least i can rhyme. :D

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

\[A=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ 4 }a ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (gracygirl):
