Question

Find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 16.5 inches long and a side 19 inches long. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Area of hexagon (A ) = 1/2(apothem)(perimeter)

The hexagon apothem is 16.5 inches and side = 19 inches.

Perimeter of hexagon (P ) = 6S

Regular hexagon have equal 6 sides.

P  = 6*19 = 114 inches.

A  = 1/2(apothem)(perimeter)

A  = 1/2*16.5*114

A  = 16.5*57

A  = 940.5

Area of the hexagon = 940.5 squre inches.
