What is the formula for finding the surface area of a hexagon?
Area of triangle = ½ base x altitude. Regular hexagon is 6 equal triangles so Area= 3 x base x altitude
Formula for the area of a hexagon?
The formula for a hexagon is 6x.5xsin(60)edge2 = 3xsin(60)edge2=2.598edge2.
Is the formula for finding the area of an oval the same as the formula for finding the area of a circle?
No because the formula for finding the area of an oval, which is an ellipse, is quite different
Surface area of a hexagon?
There is no simple formula for the surface area of a general hexagon. The simplest solution is to partition it into triangles, calculate their areas and sum the results.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal shape?
First we assume it is a regular hexagon meaning all the angles are the same and the sides are the same length. Recalling that a regular hexagon can be broken up into 6 triangles, we find the area of the hexagon by finding the area of one triangle and multiply by six. (recall the area of triangle is Height x 1/2 Base ) You can also find the area of a hexagon using the formula Area==ap/2 where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. But that just gives you the area of the 2 dimensional base, not the volume. To calculate the volume, multiply the area found above by the height of the hexagonal container.
