Question

In a regular hexagon ABCDEF, AB is parallel to ED parallel to X-axis.What are the slopes of its sides?

Answer 1

because side AB and DE are parellel to X-axis so, slope of these line equal slope of X-axis but slope of X-axis is zero. hence slope of AB and DE are zero .

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of its sides is √3 and - √3. Slope to the x-axis is zero.

Explanation:

• In a regular hexagon, ABCDEF, all the angles are 60 degrees.
• We can find the slopes of the hexagon by the trigonometric method.
• As we know that  
• The slope of BC=  tan (60°)  
• tan (60°) = √3
• Now  
• BC=  tan (60°) = √3 = slope of EF
• Similarly,
• The slope of DC = tan (120°) = -  √3 = Slope of AF
