Question

The area of the regular hexagon is 10.4 in.2. What is the measure of the apothem, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch? 1.3 in. 1.7 in. 2.0 in. 3.4 in.

Answer 1

1.7 inches

Explanation:

If the area of the regular hexagon is 10.4 in.2, the measure of the apothem, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch is 1.7 inches

Answer 2

1.7

Explanation:

Given:

Area of polygon=10.4

sides of polygon=2

Formula for area of a regular polygon= 1/2 (apothem x perimeter )

Putting value, we get

10.4= 1/2 ( a x 12 )

10.4=6a

a=10.4/6

a=1.73

the measure of the apothem, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch=1.7!
