A regular hexagon has a radius of 20 in. what is the approximate area of the hexagon
2 answers:
Remark
You need 2 facts to solve this
1. The area of a hexagon is
A = 3*(sqrt(3) ) * a^2/2
Just to make this clear, I'll put it in Latex
2. The second fact you need to know is that the radius = the length of the side a.
Givens
r = 20 in
a = r where a is the length of the side of a hexagon.
Formula Substitute and solve.
A = 3*(sqrt(3) * a^2 ) / 2
A = 3*(sqrt(3) * 20^2) / 2
A = 3*sqrt(3) * 400 / 2
A = 3*sqrt(3) * 200
A = 3*1.7321 * 200
A = 1039 square inches.

<h3>What is the Pythagoras theorem?</h3>The square of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
We have:
Rover the dog is on a 60-foot leash. One end of the leash is tied to Rover, who is 2 feet tall. The other end of the leash is tied to the top of an 8-foot pole.
After drawing a right-angle triangle from the above information.
Applying Pythagoras' theorem:
60² = 6² + x²
After solving:
x = 59.69 ≈ 59.7 foot
Thus, the dog can roam 59.7 feet if the dog is on a 60-foot leash. One end of the leash is tied to Rover, who is 2 feet tall.
