Given
A Hexagon whose height is 7.8 inches and the length of each side is 9 inch.
To determine:
a) How to decompose it into triangles.
b) Area of each triangle.
c) Area of the table.
Explanation:
a) Join the center and each point.
That implies, the number of triangles is 6.
b) The area of the triangle is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area\text{ of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times9\times7.8 \\ =9\times3.9 \\ =35.1square\text{ inches.} \end{gathered}[/tex]
c) The area of the table is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area\text{ of table}=35.1\times6 \\ =210.6square\text{ inches.} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Final result:
a) 6
b) 35.1square inches.
c) 210.6squre inches.
