Question

The sides of a regular hexagon is 16ft. What is the area of the hexagon?

Answer 1

64 squared ft bc if you have one size of the hexagon that is 16 ft you times that by 4 bc you have to multiply all sides to get the area and you should get 64 sq ft if I’m wrong I’m sorry lol

Answer 2

665.1

Explanation:

The formula for an area of a hexagon is
`(3√(3))/(2)S^(2)`

the S (side) is 16 so,

`(3√(3))/(2)16^(2)`

=
`(3√(3) )/(2)256`

=
`3√(3)` × 128

=
`384√(3)`

round to the nearest sq. rt. means that you have to round to the nearest tenth, or 0.1

`384√(3)` is 665.10751 as a decimal

665.1 as rounded. Therefore, the area of the hexagon is 665.1 sq ft
