Find the area of a regular hexagon with apothem length of 5 centimeters
a = apothem
a = 5 cm
An=n⋅a2⋅tan(180∘n)
hexagon: n = 6
A6=6⋅a2⋅tan(180∘6)A6=6⋅52⋅tan(30∘)|tan(30∘)=13⋅√3A6=6⋅52⋅13⋅√3A6=2⋅52⋅√3A6=2⋅25⋅√3A6=50⋅√3A6=86.6025403784 cm2
The area of a regular hexagon with apothem length of 5 centimeters is 86.6 cm2
