Find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 10.4 yards long and a side 12 yards long. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
find the area of each of the 6 equilateral triangles making up the hexagon
Each side of triangle = 12 yards
{ by the way, first check apothem length because it is our altitude )
tan 30 = (1/2)(12)/apothem
apothem = 6/tan 30 = 10.4 - sure enough, whew }
so area of triangle = (1/2)(base)(apothem)
= .5 * 12 * 10.4 = 62.4
so 6 of them is 6*62.4 = 374 yd^2

Ms.Sue wont be responding she had died not to long ago one of her students have said that she had a heart attack or something like that. ~ sorry
As i realize this question was posted 2014 but there are people answering in 2020 ._.
Another thing, When posting answers you really shouldn't or you should state the question as well because sometimes the questions w/answers get mixed up so not every answer is the same.
Thank You so much Damon!
You are welcome :)
Yes but she wasn't dead in 2015
Can someone tell me how to do this please?
A park in a subdivision has a triangular shape. Two adjacent sides of the park are 533 feet and 525 feet. The angle between the sides is 53°. Find the area of the park to the nearest square foot.
My answer is 139912.5.
A = 1/2 bh
