Check the picture below.
so the area of the hexagon is really just the area of two isosceles trapezoids.

Answer:
12.5 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the blue triangle into two smaller triangles.
The length of their common base = 5 units
The height of the <u>yellow</u> triangle = 2 units
The height of the <u>red</u> triangle = 3 units
The area of the yellow triangle
= (5×2)÷2
= 5 sq. units
The area of the red triangle
= (5×3)÷2
= 7.5 sq. units
The total area
= 5+7.5
= 12.5 sq. units
Answer:
subtract 2 and add 3
Step-by-step explanation:
8-2=6
6+3=9
9-2=7
7+3=10
Answer:
7,230,000,000 = 7.23 x 10 to the 9th power. 0.0000865 = 8.65 x 10 to the negative 5th power.
