Advantage because I take advantage of everything while I can haha
*I am assuming that the hexagons in all questions are regular and the triangle in (24) is equilateral*
(21)
Area of a Regular Hexagon:
square units
(22)
Similar to (21)
Area =
square units
(23)
For this case, we will have to consider the relation between the side and inradius of the hexagon. Since, a hexagon is basically a combination of six equilateral triangles, the inradius of the hexagon is basically the altitude of one of the six equilateral triangles. The relation between altitude of an equilateral triangle and its side is given by:


Hence, area of the hexagon will be:
square units
(24)
Given is the inradius of an equilateral triangle.

Substituting the value of inradius and calculating the length of the side of the equilateral triangle:
Side = 16 units
Area of equilateral triangle =
square units

Answer:
smaller triangle area = 73 1/3 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle has a ratio of linear dimensions of 10/15 = 2/3 of that of the larger triangle. The area ratio is the square of this, so the area of the smaller triangle is ...
(165 ft^2)(2/3)^2 = (165 ft^2)(4/9) = 220/3 ft^2 = 73 1/3 ft^2
