Shaded area = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the square – area of the equilateral triangle. This can be obtained by finding each shaded area and then adding them.
<h3>Find the expression for the area of the shaded regions:</h3>
From the question we can say that the Hexagon has three shapes inside it,
Also it is given that,
An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square inside a regular pentagon inside a regular hexagon.
From this we know that equilateral triangle is the smallest, then square, then regular pentagon and then a regular hexagon.
A pentagon is shown inside a regular hexagon.
- Area of first shaded region = Area of the hexagon - Area of pentagon
An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square.
- Area of second shaded region = Area of the square - Area of equilateral triangle
The expression for total shaded region would be written as,
Shaded area = Area of first shaded region + Area of second shaded region
Hence,
⇒ Shaded area = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the square – area of the equilateral triangle.
