Find the side $ a $ of a hexagon if area $A = 132$.
Answer
$a = 7.1279$
Explanation
To find side $ a $ use formula:
$$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a^2 }{ 2 }$$After substituting $ A = 132 $ we have:
$$ 132 = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ 132 \cdot 2 = 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 264 = 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a^2 $$ $$ a^2 = \dfrac{ 264 }{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } } $$ $$ a^2 = \frac{ 88 \sqrt{ 3}}{ 3 } $$ $$ a = \sqrt{ \frac{ 88 \sqrt{ 3}}{ 3 } } $$$$ a \approx 7.1279 $$This page was created using
