Find the area of the regular polygon hexagon with a radius of 5 in?
Solution:
Given, the radius of regular hexagon is 5 in
We have to find the area of the regular hexagon.
The area of a regular hexagon with side ‘a’ units is given by
A = 3√3a²/2
We know that the radius of a regular hexagon is equal to the length of each side of the hexagon.
So, r = a = 5 in
Now, A = 3√3(5)²/2
= 3√3(25)/2
= 75√3/2
= 75(1.732)/2
= 129.9/2
= 64.95 in²
Therefore, the required area is 64.95 in².
Find the area of the regular polygon hexagon with a radius of 5 in?
Summary:
The area of the regular polygon hexagon with a radius of 5 in is 64.95 in².
