Given that the screw is a regular hexagon with side length 6 mm, the area of the screw is 93.5 mm^2

<h3>How can the area of the screw be found?</h3>

The area of an hexagon can be found using the following equation;

A = \mathbf{ \frac{3 \cdot \sqrt{3} }{2}  \times  {a}^{2}}

Where <em>a </em>= The side length

However the side lengths are not equal, and the figure is a composite figure with two triangles and one rectangle;

Base length of the triangles = 12

Height of the triangles = 3

Area of each triangle = 0.5 × 12 × 3 = 18

Width of the rectangle = 12

Height of the rectangle = 6

Area of the rectangle = 12 × 6 = 72

Area of the screw = 18 + 18 + 72 = 108

However taking the screw as a regular hexagon, with side length <em>a </em>= 6, we have;

A =  \frac{3 \cdot \sqrt{3} }{2}  \times  {6 \: mm}^{2} = 93.5 \: mm^2

  • The correct option is <u>D. 93.5 mm^2</u>

I don't know if I did this right. 
There are 1097.6 pages in the book. I multiplied .35 by 56 and got 19.6. I multiplied 19.6 by 56 and got 1097.6. Therefore, there are 1097.6 pages in the book.
