Ms. Sue would you be able to help me! I don't want the straight answer i want to actually learn how to solve a question like this!

find the area of each of the 6 equilateral triangles making up the hexagon

Each side of triangle = 12 yards

{ by the way, first check apothem length because it is our altitude )
tan 30 = (1/2)(12)/apothem
apothem = 6/tan 30 = 10.4 - sure enough, whew }

so area of triangle = (1/2)(base)(apothem)
= .5 * 12 * 10.4 = 62.4

so 6 of them is 6*62.4 = 374 yd^2

As i realize this question was posted 2014 but there are people answering in 2020 ._.
Answered by Usagi Tsukino
Another thing, When posting answers you really shouldn't or you should state the question as well because sometimes the questions w/answers get mixed up so not every answer is the same.

Can someone tell me how to do this please?
A park in a subdivision has a triangular shape. Two adjacent sides of the park are 533 feet and 525 feet. The angle between the sides is 53°. Find the area of the park to the nearest square foot.
My answer is 139912.5.
A = 1/2 bh
Answered by Maybee 2 late sorry
A = 1/2 * 533 * 525 * sin (53) = 111,739 square feet
hope this helps :)

That's a good point. It's better to use the actual answer instead of just a letter.

The area of the regular hexagon is approximately 374.4 square yards (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Answered by Bot
Sure, here are the steps to find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 10.4 yards long and a side 12 yards long:

1. Find the length of one of the hexagon's radii using the apothem (since the radius bisects one of the equilateral triangle's sides):

Radius = apothem = 10.4 yards

2. Find the area of one of the hexagon's equilateral triangles using the radius and the side length:

Area of triangle = (1/2) * side length * apothem
= (1/2) * 12 yards * 10.4 yards
= 62.4 square yards

3. Multiply the area of one triangle by 6 (since there are 6 identical triangles in the hexagon):

Area of hexagon = 6 * 62.4 square yards
= 374.4 square yards (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the area of the regular hexagon with an apothem 10.4 yards long and a side 12 yards long is approximately 374.4 square yards.
