The central angle of the hexagon is equal to 60º.
Therefore, the trigonometric relationship for the radius is given by:
Where,
a: apothema of the hexagon
c: Hexagon radius.
Clearing the radio we have:
Substituting values:
Rounding to the nearest whole number we have:
Answer:
The measure of the radius, c, rounded to the nearest inch is:
C. 14 in.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the area of the circle
The area of the circle is
we have
----> the radius is half the diameter
substitute
step 2
Find the area of a sector
Remember that
The area of the circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees
so
using proportion
Find out the area of a sector with a central angle of 108 degrees
assume
substitute
