Answer:

The amount of glass needed to make the lampshade is:

166.27 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the lampshade is a regular hexagon with a side length of 8 inches.

Estimate the amount of glass needed to make the lampshade.

Area of hexagon of side s= (3√3 s²)/ 2

Here, s= 8 inches

Area= $\dfrac{3\times \sqrt{3}\times 8\times 8 }{2}$

=166.27 square inches

Hence, the amount of glass needed to make the lampshade is:

166.27 square inches
