Question

What is the length of the apothem, rounded to the nearest inch? recall that in a regular hexagon, the length of the radius is equal to the length of each side of the hexagon. 4 in. 5 in. 9 in. 11 in.

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

apothem (AB)

1/2 of the length (10) is 5

AB^2 + 5^2 = 10^

AB^2 = 100-25

Square root of AB^2 = square root of 75

AB = 8.66

8.66 is about 9
