Explanation:
The figure is not a regular hexagon. It is an irregular hexagon.
Please, find attached the picture with the original question and the figure.
You can split the figure into two triangles and one rectangle.
The rectangle has dimensions: 7units × 4units, thus its area is 28 units².
Both the upper triangle and lower triangle have base 7 units and height 2 units.
Hence the area of each triangle is:
Hence, the area of the hexagon is:
<h3>Answer: 5.5 which is choice B</h3>
Have a look at the diagram I posted below. I marked on your image to add in another angle. This angle is also 20 degrees because of congruent alternate interior angles (horizontal lines are parallel). This angle I add in is the reference angle of the triangle
opposite the reference angle is the vertical side x
adjacent to the reference angle is the horizontal side 15
We'll use the tangent rule. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(20) = x/15
15*tan(20) = x <<-- multiply both sides by 15
x = 15*tan(20)
x = 5.45955 <<--- use calculator; this is approximate
x = 5.5 <<--- round to one decimal place
