Question

find the area of a regular hexagon with the side length of 2 cm and an apothem of approximately 1.7 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

A= 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2aP

A=1/2·(1.7)(12)

A=10.2

Answer 2

Answer:

area ≈ 10.2 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a regular polygon is

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ pa ( p is the perimeter and a the apothem )

p = 6 × 2 = 12 cm ← a hexagon has 6 sides , thus

A = 0.5 × 12 × 1.7 ≈ 10.2 cm²
