Question

The base of a prism is a regular hexagon with the perimeter of 78mm the height of the prism is 16mm what is the area of one of the rectangular faces of the prism?

Answer 1

The perimeter is the sides of the hexagon. One of the hexagon edges is shared with a rectangular face. Solve for that edge. 78/6=13. The height is the length and edge is the width. Area is length(16) times width(13). 16•13=208. The answer is 208mm^2
