Question

A pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with side links of four and a slant height of six. Find the total area of the pyramid

Answer 1

Area of the Base = 6 * side^2 / 4 * tan (180/6)

Area of the Base = 6 * 16 / 4 * 0.57735

Area of the Base = 96 / 2.3094

Area of the Base = 41.5692387633

Area of 1 Face = 2 * 6 = 12

Area of 6 Faces = 72

Total Area = 41.5692387633 + 72

Total Area = 113.5692387633
