Question

Find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 17.3 miles long and a side 20 miles long

Answer 1

The area of a hexagon is $\frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2}$ where a = one side

$\frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} 20^{2}$

$\frac{3*200 \sqrt{3} }{2}$

$\frac{600 \sqrt{3} }{2}$

$300 \sqrt{3}$ ≈ 1038 mi²
