Question

What would be a good explanation to put into the box in relation to the first image?

Answer 1

Yes, since the order of rotational symmetry in a regular Hexagon is 6, and the angle of rotation is 60° since

360°/6 = 60°

Therefore, to find the area of the hexagon,

we decompose the hexagon into 6 congruent isosceles triangles since the two sides are equal.

To find the perimeter of the hexagon, we need to find the length of the base in the isosceles triangle and then multiply it by 6

To find the area of the hexagon, we first find the area of one Isosceles triangle and then multiply it by 6
