Question

A regular hexagon has a side length of 2 inches.What is the perimeter of the hexagon?What is the area of the hexagon?

Answer 1

12 inches

6√ 3 in^2

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, a hexagon has 6 sides, therefore the perimeter would be:

`p=6\cdot2=12\text{ inches}`

The area of the hexagon is given by the following equation:

`\begin{gathered} A=\frac{3\sqrt[]{3}\cdot s^2}{2} \\ \text{ Replacing:} \\ A=(3√(3)\cdot2^2)/(2)=6\sqrt[]{3}in^2 \end{gathered}`
