Question

If ABCDEF is a hexagon where BC is 17cm and distance between A and D is 33cm. Find the area of hexagon.​

Answer 1

Answer:

750 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming it's a regular hexagon

Area of hexagon = 2 * Area of Trapezium (ABCD)

Now ,

Area of Trapezium = ( a + b )/2 * h

Here ,

a = 17 cm , b = 33 cm , h = ?

For calculating h , ( which is the perpendicular distance between AD and BC )

h^2 = 17^2 - [( 33 - 17 ) / 2]^2 = 225

h = 15

therefore ,

area of the hexagon =( 33 + 17) * 15 = 50 * 15 = 750 cm^2
