A hexagon is drawn inside a circle with a radius of 21 cm. Determine the approximate area of the hexagon.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1145 cm2.
In a circle, a regular hexagon has a side = radius
So, side = 21
Area of hexagon = × side2
⇒ × 212 = × 441
⇒ 661.5√3 = 661.5 × 1.732 = 1145 cm2
