a. Find the exact area of a regular hexagon with radius 5 centimeters. b. Derive a formula for the area of any regular hexagon with radius r units.
Solution
Area= r2n sin(360/n)/2
r is the radius of any side
n is the number of sides
And for hexagon,n=6
Therefore area=52*6 sin(360/6)/2
=150* sqrt3/4 = 75sqrt3/2
