Find the short diagonal $ s $ of a hexagon if long diagonal $d = 22$.
Answer
$s = 11 \sqrt{ 3 }$
Explanation
STEP 1: find side $ a $
To find side $ a $ use formula:
$$ d = 2 \cdot a $$After substituting $ d = 22 $ we have:
$$ 22 = 2 \cdot a $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 22 }{ 2 } $$ $$ a = 11 $$STEP 2: find diagonal $ s $
To find diagonal $ s $ use formula:
$$ s = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a $$After substituting $ a = 11 $ we have:
$$ s = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot 11 $$ $$ s = 11 \sqrt{ 3 } $$This page was created using
