Answer:
Explanation:
The central angle of a hexagon is 60 degrees. Drop a line from the center to the middle of the side marked 7.
Use the tan of the angle so formed (which is 30 degrees)
Tan(30)= opposite / height (which is the line you just drew).
Tan(30) = 3.5 / h
Tan(30) = 0.5774
Tan(30) = 3.5 / h multiply both sides by h
h*Tan(30) = 3.5 Divide by tan30
h = 3.5 / Tan(30)
h = 3.5 / 0.5774
h = 6.062
Now from both ends of the given side, draw 2 lines to the center. Find the area of that triangle.
Area of 1 triangle = 1/2 * b * h
area of 1 triangle = 1/2 * 7 * 6.062
Area of 1 triangle = 21.2176
There are 6 such triangles so multiply that number by 6
Answer: 6 * 21.2176
Answer: 127.31
