hexagon is equal to the area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 36 inches. Find the length of a side of the regular hexagon.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

2√(6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 36 inches

Formula of perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3* side

36=3* side

(36)/(3) = side

12= side

Thus each side of equilateral triangle is 12 inches

Formula of area of equilateral triangle = (√(3))/(4) a^(2)

Where a is the side .

So, area of the given equilateral triangle =  (√(3))/(4) * 12^(2)

                                                                   =  36√(3)

Since hexagon can be divided into six small equilateral triangle .

So, area of each small equilateral triangle =(36√(3))/(6)

                                                                   =  6√(3)

So, The area of small equilateral triangle :

(√(3))/(4)a^(2) =6√(3)

Where a is the side of hexagon .

(1)/(4)a^(2) =6

a^(2) =6* 4

a^(2) =24

a =√(24)

a =2√(6)

Hence the length of a side of the regular hexagon is 2√(6)

Thank you Philo for your answer. I have one more question for you regarding the same rectangular prism that is 3 units long, 2 units wide and has 7 layers and 42 cubic units, how many cubes of the prism would have exactly one face showing on the outside? Please

Answers

Alright. So we have a rectangular prism 3 long, 2 wide, and 7 high. That would have a volume of 42 because the volume of a rectangular prism is it's length times its width times its height. Now the question is if that prism is made up of cubic centimeter cubes, how many are on the outside? My strategy for this would be to find how many are on the inside. If we were to subtract two from every measurement (getting rid of cubes on the outside, essentially) we would be left with the volume of the cubes that don't touch the outside. Make sense?

3 - 2 = 1
2 - 2 = 0
7 - 2 = 5

So suppose we have a rectangular prism with measurements 1, 0, and 5. The volume is 1*0*5 which is...0. Because the prism is 2 cubes thick, there's nothing that's NOT on the outside. With another similar problem, however, that is how you would solve it.
