Question

Complete the magic hexagon by filling in the missing numbers.

Answer 1

The number on the sides of magic hexagon will be the product of the numbers at it's respective corners.

So, the missing numbers starting from left will be:
5 x 4 = 20,
4 x 6 = 24,
6 x 2 = 12

Now, the product of the missing number at the corner and 2 should be 18. Thus, the missing number is 9, as 2 x 9 = 18

Then, 9 x 8 = 72,
and 8 x 5 = 40

Thus, upon filling the missing numbers, the magic hexagon will look like as shown below.
