The area of a regular hexagon is 150√3 square cm. If the apothem is 5√3 cm, what is the length of each side?



Answer :

I will have to try to explain in words since I don't have a square root icon FORMULA USED is A=1/2 a X P substitute the given info 150 sq. rt 3= 1/2 X 5 sq, rrt, 3 X P multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate the fraction 300 sq, rt 3= 5 sq, rt 3 X P DIVIDE by sq rt of three 300= 5P 60= Perimeter since the figure is a hexagon ( 6 sides) divide the perimeter by 6 the side 10 I hope can understand the solution

If the perimeter of the regular hexagon is 60 cm. Then the side length of the hexagon will be 10 cm.

What is the area of the regular polygon?

Let 'a' be the apothem and 'p' be the perimeter of the regular polygon.

Then the area of the regular polygon will be

A = (1/2) × a × p

The area of a regular hexagon is 150√3 square cm. If the apothem is 5√3 cm.

Then the perimeter of the hexagon will be

A = (1/2) × a × p

150√3 = (1/2) × 5√3 × p

300/5 = p

p = 60

We know that the perimeter of the regular hexagon is given as,

p = 6L

Where L is the length of the hexagon. Then we have

60 = 6L

L = 60 / 6

L = 10 cm

If the perimeter of the regular hexagon is 60 cm. Then the side length of the hexagon will be 10 cm.
