Given that the screw is a regular hexagon with side length 6 mm, the area of the screw is 93.5 mm^2
<h3>How can the area of the screw be found?</h3>The area of an hexagon can be found using the following equation;
Where <em>a </em>= The side length
However the side lengths are not equal, and the figure is a composite figure with two triangles and one rectangle;
Base length of the triangles = 12
Height of the triangles = 3
Area of each triangle = 0.5 × 12 × 3 = 18
Width of the rectangle = 12
Height of the rectangle = 6
Area of the rectangle = 12 × 6 = 72
Area of the screw = 18 + 18 + 72 = 108
However taking the screw as a regular hexagon, with side length <em>a </em>= 6, we have;
- The correct option is <u>D. 93.5 mm^2</u>
