What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side length of 10 meters and a distance from the center to a vertex of 10 meters?

Respuesta :

we know that
the area of a regular hexagon=(Perimeter*Apothem)/2

step 1
find the perimeter
P=6*b
where b is the 
side length
b=10 m
so
P=6*10-----> P=60 m

step 2

Find the apothem
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

c
²=a²+b²------> a²=c²-b²
where
a is the apothem
b=10/2-----> 5 m
c=10 m
so
a²=10²-5²------> a²=100-25-----> a=√75 m
apothem=√75 m

step 3
 find the area of a regular hexagon
the area of a regular hexagon=(Perimeter*Apothem)/2
the area of a regular hexagon=[60*√75]/2------> 30√75 -------> 150√3 m²

the answer is
the area of a regular hexagon is 150√3 m²


The took the quiz and the correct answer is B) 259.8 m2. The correct answer is B) for this problem.

Can u plz give me brainlyest answer plz
