Question

Giselle a pendant on her necklace that is the shape of a regular hexagon. On the pendant, there are lines for the center of each vertex that divided it into congruent triangles. Ach triangle has an area of 2 square centimeters

Answer 1

The area of the pendant is 12 square centimeters.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:

Giselle a pendant on her necklace that is the shape of a regular hexagon. On the pendant, there are lines for the center of each vertex that divided it into congruent triangles. Each triangle has an area of 2 square centimeters.

`What\ is\ the\ area\ of\ the\ pendant?`

Now, to get the area of pendant.

In the hexagonal pendant there are congruent triangles that are divided from the lines of the center of each vertex.

Each triangle's area = 2 square centimeters.

As, we see in the figure below there are six congruent triangles in the hexagonal pendant.

Hence, the number of triangles = 6.

So, to get the area of pendant we multiply each triangle's area by the number of triangles:

`2\ cm^2* 6\\\\=12\ cm^2.`

Therefore, the area of the pendant is 12 square centimeters.
