Three Geometry questions!

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

OpenStudy (aveline):

The area of a regular polygon is 1/2 * apothem * perimeter

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

what is the apothem?

OpenStudy (aveline):

That's the radius

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

Ah okay, sorry.

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

So 1/2*5*?

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

I'm new to this so I'm unsure about a few things I'm sorry

OpenStudy (aveline):

You'll need to find the apothem by drawing a picture.|dw:1478286706846:dw|

OpenStudy (aveline):

You can tell from the picture that a regular hexagon is made of many smaller triangles. You'll need to find the area of the triangles above and multiply by 12.

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

oh okay so I solve that now

OpenStudy (aveline):

Yeah. Just solve the equation of the bottom of the picture and multiply by 12. You'll get a bit less than 65, but you should be able to get to 65 by rounding to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

oh alright, I'm sorry if i'm taking too long to respond I was working on a different question

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

anyway thank you! now I just need the others

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

I'm thinking that #4 is C?

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

I'm not fully sure how to do the last one though

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

found it out

OpenStudy (pokiedokie):

#4 is C and #5 is A
