The lateral area of a regular hexagonal pyramid can be calculated using the formula:
Lateral Area = Perimeter of Base * Slant Height / 2
The perimeter of a regular hexagon is found by multiplying the length of one side (8 in) by 6, since a hexagon has 6 equal sides.
Perimeter = 8 in * 6 = 48 in
Lateral Area = 48 in * 9.8 in / 2 = 470.4 in squared
Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options provided.
What is the lateral area of a regular hexagonal pyramid that has a slant height of 9.8 in. and a base length of 8 in?(1 point)
