The area of a regular hexagon is 20483\sqrt3 cm2. What is the length (in cm) of each side of the hexagon?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 643364\sqrt3\over3.

Area of a regular hexagon = 3323\sqrt3 \over2a2

here, a = side

⇒ 3323\sqrt3 \over2a2 = 20483\sqrt3

⇒ a2 = 409634096\over3

⇒ a = 64364\over \sqrt3 = 643364\sqrt3\over3
