Question

Find the area of the regular hexagon if length of XY= 6cm and BC= 5cm.
PLEASEEEEE HELPP MEE!!

Answer 1

`90 { \: cm}^(2)`

Explanation:

First, we can find one triangle's area (they are all the same and isosceles):

h = XY = 6 cm, a = BC = 5 cm

`s(triangle) = (1)/(2) * h * a = (1)/(2) * 6 * 5 = 15`

And now, multiply this number by 6 (since there are 6 of these identical triangles):

S(hexagon) = 15 × 6 = 90 cm^2
