Question

find the area of the hexagon LMNPQR in which each side measures 5cm,height MQ=11cm and width RP=8cm

Answer 1

Answer:

The Area of hexagon is 64.75 cm²  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

LMNPQR is a hexagon

The measure of each side of hexagon = a = 5 cm

The height of hexagon = MQ = h = 11 cm

The width of hexagon = RP = 8 cm

Let The Area of hexagon = A square cm

According to question

Area of hexagon = $\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$ a²

where a is the side

So, Area = $\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$ × (5 cm)²

i.e Area = 2.59 × 25 cm²

∴    Area = 64.75 cm²

Hence, The Area of hexagon is 64.75 cm²   Answer
