Question

A planter is shaped like a regular hexagon. The side lengths are 3 meters and the apothem is 5.2 m.

What is the area of the hexagonal planter?


46.8 m²

15.6 m²

93.6 m²

7.8 m²

Answer 1

46.8 m²

Explanation:

Area of regular polygons formula: A = 1/2 (apothem length * perimeter)

A hexagon has 6 sides, so the perimeter is 6*3, which comes out to 18.

A = 1/2 (5.2*18)

A = 1/2 (93.6)

A = 46.8 m²
