First Choice Interior makes a coffee table in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism. The
top is made of wood, the sides of glass, and the bottom of metal. Use the net to find how
many of glass are needed for the furniture company to make one coffee table.

To find the total surface area of the hexagonal prism coffee table, we need to calculate the area of each of the six sides.
The formula for finding the area of a regular hexagon is:
Area = (3√3/2) x s^2
where s is the length of one side of the hexagon.
Given that the area of each side is 772 cm^2, we can find the length of one side by rearranging the formula:
772 = (3√3/2) x s^2
s^2 = 772 / (3√3/2)
s^2 = 514.6667
s = √514.6667
s ≈ 22.68 cm
Now we can find the total area of the glass sides (since there are 6 glass sides):
Total glass area = 6 x 772 cm^2
Total glass area = 4632 cm^2
Therefore, the furniture company would need 4632 cm^2 of glass to make one coffee table in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism.

I apologize for the oversight. Let's calculate the total surface area for each option to determine how many of glass are needed for the furniture company to make one coffee table:
1) Total surface area = 20,250 cm^2
Each glass side area = 20,250 / 6 = 3,375 cm^2
2) Total surface area = 40,500 cm^2
Each glass side area = 40,500 / 6 = 6,750 cm^2
3) Total surface area = 17,550 cm^2
Each glass side area = 17,550 / 6 = 2,925 cm^2
4) Total surface area = 30,772 cm^2
Each glass side area = 30,772 / 6 = 5,128.67 cm^2
Based on the calculations, the closest option to the actual calculation of a glass side area needed for the coffee table would be Option 2: 40,500 cm^2
Therefore, the furniture company would need 6,750 cm^2 of glass to make one coffee table in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism.
