you are planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. the tiles are blue-and-white equilateral triangles. you deci
de to arrange the blue tiles in a hexagonal shape as shown. if the side of each tile measures 4 centimeters, what will be the exact area of each hexagon shape?
Using the equilateral triangles, the hexagon shaped design will use 6 triangles. Solve first for the area of the triangle using the formula. Area of the triangle= sqrt3/4s^2 = 6.93 cm^2 Total area of the hexagon = 6 x area of the triangle = 41.57 cm^2
