1. A hexagon is made up of six triangles. So to get its area, you need to take the area of one triangle and multiply it by 6.
2. You already have the base. The height of an equilateral triangle = base/ 2 * √(3) That will give you the height. The area of a triangle is A=bh/2 You know b is 4, and that formula will give you h.
3. <span>4/(2<span>3–√</span>) </span>Or multiply by the reciprocal, <span>4<span>3–√</span>/2
4. </span>Area of triangle = b*h/2 = 4* (4√(3)/2) / 2 = 4√(3) Area of hexagon = 6 * area of triangle = 6 * 4√(3) = 24 √(3)
5. The area of one triangle is <span>43-√. </span>You need to multiply this times 6 to get the whole hexagon. So <span>6∗(4<span>3–√</span>)=24<span>3–√.
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)</span></span>
As it is just 6 equilateral triangles and the formula for area of a triangle 1/2 * base * height and you can find the height by using pythagoras c^2 - b^2 = a^2 so do 4^2 - 2^2 = 16 - 4 = 12 6 * 1/2 * 4 * =
