Find the area of a regular hexagon whose apothem is 1.7cm and a side length is 2cm

10.2 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagon is composed of 6 regular triangles whose area is equal to half of the product of the apothem and side.

A - triangle = (1/2)(a)(s) = (1/2)(1.7 cm)(2 cm) = 1.7 cm²

Multiplying this area by 6 to get the area of the hexagon gives us the answer which is 10.2 cm².

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
