Question

The area (in square units) of a regular hexagon, each side of which is $2$ units, is

• A. $8$
• B. $10.392$ (approx.)
• C. $12.5$
• D. $18$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$10.392$ (approx.)

Side of square $=2$ units
$\therefore$ Area of hexagon $=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(side{)}^3$

$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(2{)}^3=6\sqrt{3}$
$=6\times 1.73205$
$=10.3923$
$=10.392$ units (approx)
