Answer:

The area of the pendant is 12 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:

Giselle a pendant on her necklace that is the shape of a regular hexagon. On the pendant, there are lines for the center of each vertex that divided it into congruent triangles. Each triangle has an area of 2 square centimeters.

[tex]What\ is\ the\ area\ of\ the\ pendant?[/tex]

Now, to get the area of pendant.

In the hexagonal pendant there are congruent triangles that are divided from the lines of the center of each vertex.

Each triangle's area = 2 square centimeters.

As, we see in the figure below there are six congruent triangles in the hexagonal pendant.

Hence, the number of triangles = 6.

So, to get the area of pendant we multiply each triangle's area by the number of triangles:

[tex]2\ cm^2\times 6\\\\=12\ cm^2.[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the pendant is 12 square centimeters.
