Answer:
The side is approx 2.78cm
Explanation:
There is an area formula for regular polygons that uses the apothem:
A = 1/2•a•s•n
a is the apothem.
s is the side length.
n is the number of sides.
The area, A is given and also the apothem is given, as well as the number of sides.
The shape in your problem is a hexagon, so it has 6 sides.
A = 1/2 asn
20 = 1/2(2.4)s(6)
Multiply.
20 = 7.2s
Divide.
20/7.2 = s
2.78 = s
s = 2.78
