Question

A parking lot is the shape of a regular hexagon. The distance from the entrance (A) to the exit (B) is 50 yards. What is the approximate area of the parking lot?

Answer 1

1623.8 square yards

Explanation:

The area of a hexagon in terms of side length is ...

A = (3√3)/2·s²

The side length of a regular hexagon is half the diameter, so the area here is about ...

A = (3√3)/2·(25 yd)² ≈ 1623.8 yd²
