What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side of 4 and an apothem of 3 46?
Easy. Since the side is the base and the apothem is the height of the triangle, multiply them and divide by two to get the area of the triangle. 3 * 3.46 = 10.38 /2 = 5.19. Then multiply by 6 to get the area of the hexagon. 5.19 * 6 = 31.14. You multiply by 6 because you can fit 6 regular triangles in a regular hexagon. We've already found the area of one regular triangle in the hexagon.
What shape does 6 triangles make?
pentagon i think?
How do you find the surface area of a hexagon?
The surface area of a hexagon is the same as its area. You will normally need to split the hexagon into triangles, find their area and sum these.
What is the area of a regular hexagon if a side is 30?
The area is about 2338.27 square units, from the formulaA = 3/2 (sqrt 3) s2 or about 2.598 s2--Let's draw a segment from the center of the hexagon to the middle of a side. This segment is called the apothem. Then use the 30-60-90 triangle rule. If half of a side is 15, that means the apothem is 15√3.If we divide the hexagon into equilateral triangles, we get 6 equilateral triangles.So if we find the area for one of these triangles and multiply it by 6, we get the area of the hexagon. The area of a triangle is found by 1/2(b*h). The apothem is your height for the triangles. So plug the numbers in: 1/2(30*15√3). Solve: 1/2(779.4228) = 389.7114. This is the area of one triangle. Now we multiply by 6, and this becomes: 2338.2686
How many sides does the hexagon have more than the triangle?
