Question

A regular hexagon is shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

(C)9 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The apothem of a regular polygon is a line segment from the center to the midpoint of one of its sides.

Given the hexagon with a radius of 10 inches

The apothem AB divides the side of the hexagon into two equal parts of 5 Inches as seen in the attached diagram.

Using Pythagoras Theorem

$10^2=5^2+|AB|^2\\|AB|^2=10^2-5^2\\|AB|^2=75\\|AB|=\sqrt{75}\\ |AB|=8.66 in\\\approx 9 in (rounded to the nearest inch)$

The correct option is C
