Problema Solution
A square and a regular hexagon are drawn with the same side length. If the area of the square is √3, what is the area of the hexagon?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'a' represent the length of the side.
The are of the square is √3 means:
a^2 = √3
The area of the hexagon is:
A = a^2 (3/2)√3
A = √3*(3/2)√3
A = 3*3/2
A = 4.5
The area of the hexagon is 4.5.
