<span>Six equilateral triangles are connected to create a regular hexagon. The area of the hexagon is 24a2 – 18 square units. Which is an equivalent expression for the area of the hexagon based on the...
We see here in the diagram that the base is a. We know this because the height is perpendicular to it. We also know the height is bsin(C) which, when replace h for bsin(C) and a for the base, we get A=absin(C), which is the second option.
