We know that

[area of a regular hexagon]=6*[area of one <span>equilateral triangle]
</span>210.44=6*[area of one equilateral triangle]
[area of one equilateral triangle]=210.44/6-----> 35.07 cm²

[area of one equilateral triangle]=b*h/2
h=7.794 cm
b=2*area/h------> b=2*35.07/7.794------>b= 9 cm

the length side of a regular hexagon is 9 cm
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>r²=h²+(b/2)²------>r²=7.794²+(4.5)²------> r²=81--------> r=9 cm

<span>this last step was not necessary because the radius is equal to the hexagon side------> (remember the equilateral triangles)
</span>
the answer is
the radius is 9 cm

The lines y1 = 2x - 6, y2 = -3x + 4, y3 = -1/2x + 4 are the sides of a right triangle. Find the perimeter and area of the triang

sergiy2304 [10]

The area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

<h3>Perimeter and area of the triangle giving the equation of a line</h3>

First we will plot the giving lines, determine the point of intersection and then use the Pythagoras theorem to determine the dimension of the right triangle.

From the given equation of the lines, the points of intersection of the line are (x₁, y₁) = (- 0.4, 5.2), (x₂, y₂) = (-0.8, 4.4) and (x₃, y₃) = (0, 4)

For the base

b² = c² -a²

b = √(-0.8)² + (4 - 4.4)²

b = 2√5 / 5

For the height

h = √((- 0.4) - (- 0.8))² + (5.2 - 4.4)²

height = 2√5 / 5

For the hypotenuse

r = √2 · b

r = 2√10 / 5

<h3>Determine the Perimeter and area</h3>

Perimeter = s1+s2+s3

Perimeter = 2√5 / 5 + 2√5 / 5 + 2√10 / 5

Perimeter = (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

area = 1/2* base * height

A = 0.5 · (2√5 / 5) · (2√5 / 5)

A = 2/5 square units

Hence the area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units
