Regular hexagon ABCDEF is inscribed in a circle with a radius of 2 units.
2 answers:
For the triangle with side lengths equal to the radius of the circle is a equilateral.
so all the angles are 60 degrees
side lengths are the same as the radius as shown in the diagram.
so s = 2units
p = 2 x #ofSides
= 2 x 8 = 16
area of a hexagon formula proof and formula itslef is sligtly complicated.
Instead we can find the area of 1 triangle, and then multiply it by 6, since a hexagon is made up of these 6 triangles
area of triangle = 2x2 /2 = 2
2 x 6 = 12units^2
