Draw an inscribing circle of a regular hexagon of side 5.8 cm and find the length of the radius.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 4.61 cm
Using the given data, construct the regular hexagon ABCDEF with each side of 5.8 cm.
Draw the bisectors of interior angle at A and B which intersects each other at point O
From point O, draw OP perpendicular to AB.
With O as the centre and OP as radius, draw a circle which will touch all the sides of the regular hexagon drawn.
After measuring the length of IP, i.e. radius = 4.61 cm
