Question

What is the area of the hexagon?

60 m 2
80 m 2
100 m 2
120 m 2

Answer 1

We can think of this hexagon as two trapezoids with the same area. Each has height 5 and bases 6 and 10.

`A = 2 \left(\frac 1 2 (b_1 + b_2) h \right) = h(b_1 + b_2)`

`A = 5(6 + 10) = 80`

Answer: 80 square meters, second choice
