Given:
Side length = 12 in
To find:
The area of the regular polygon.
Solution:
Number of sides (n) = 6
Let us find the apothem using formula:
where s is side length and n is number of sides.
Area of the regular polygon:
in²
The area of the regular polygon is 374.1 in².
To get the answer you need to multiply 1,000 by 7.15 then move your decimal to make it accurate and you should end up with 7150
The answer is 6.875 ish. not exact
Area of rectangular prism is given by:
A=2(wl+hl+lw)
where w=width h=height, l=length
checking for given options
1. 8 ft, by 4ft by 3ft
Area = 136 square feet
5. 3 feet by 5 feet by 7 feet
Area =142 square feet
so our first and last option matches the requirement of area less than 160 square feet.
