Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
A unit circle with centre O and a regular hexagon with each of its vertices on the circumference on the circle
A unit circle means a circle with radius 1 unit
Let the Hexagon be ABCDEF because it has 6 sides
Now we can divide a regular hexagon into 6 equilateral triangles
Let's just prove that fast
also let me write angle as an.
an.AOB + an.BOC + an.COD + an.DOE + an.EOF + an.FOA = 360°
we know that they are cut into equal parts so each angle will be same
so,
an.AOB + an.AOB + an.AOB + an.AOB + an.AOB + an.AOB = 360°
6 × an.AOB = 360°
an.AOB = 360 ÷ 6 = 60°
so each angle is same and equal to 60°
OA = OB = OC = OD = OE = OF = 1 unit
Radii of the same circle
so in triangle OAB,
OA = OB
so, an.OAB = an.OBA (property of isosceles triangle)
Now,
an.AOB + an.OAB + an.OBA = 180°
60° + an.OAB + an.OBA = 180°
an.OAB + an.OBA =180 - 60 = 120°
Now, an.OAB = an.OBA
an.OAB + an.OAB = 120
2 × an.OAB = 120
an.OAB = 60°
so, an.AOB = an.OAB = an.OBA = 60°
Hence it is an Equilateral Triangle
Thus, OA = OB = AB
Now OA = 1 unit
so, AB = 1 unit
we also know that AB = BC = CD = DE = EF = AF = 1 unit
so product of the sides will be 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1⁶ = 1 unit
Hence the product of the sides of a regular Hexagon inscribed in a circle of radius 1 unit is 1 unit
