Answer:
31.177 m
Step-by-step explanation:
So the formula of a hexagon is Area = (3√3 s^2)/ 2
s = side in this problem. A hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles, so the distance from the center is equal to each of the sides.
For this problem, plug and chug. Plug your knowns into equation and you will find the answer.
s^2 = (2√3)^2 = 12
Area = (3√3 x 12)/2 = 31.1769 m
I am not sure how many decimals you are supposed to round, probably 3 so in that case 31.177 m
The answer is a² + 6. "Sum of a squared and 6" means you square a value and then add 6 to it.
Answer: 17.5 square yards
================================================
Work Shown:
base = 5 yards
height = 7 yards
The base and height are always perpendicular to one another
area of triangle = 0.5*(base)*(height)
area of triangle = 0.5*(5)*(7)
area of triangle = 17.5 square yards
The other values aren't used. They're likely thrown in as a distraction.
