A) Add three <em>line</em> segments (AD, CF, BE) to the <em>regular</em> hexagon.
B) The area of each triangle of the <em>regular</em> hexagon is 35.1 in².
C) The area of the <em>regular</em> hexagon is 210.6 in².
<h3>How to calculate the area of a regular hexagon</h3>
In geometry, regular hexagons are formed by six <em>regular</em> triangles with a common vertex. We decompose the hexagon in six <em>equilateral</em> triangles by adding three <em>line</em> segments (AD, CF, BE).The area of each triangle is found by the following equation:
A = 0.5 · (9 in) · (7.8 in)
A = 35.1 in²
And the area of the <em>regular</em> polygon is six times the former result, that is, 210.6 square inches.

Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.
The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.
1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).
--> Square 8 and 17
--> Subtract 64 from both sides
--> Square root both sides to get b by itself
b = 15
3. The distance is 15 feet
*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder
