shaded area = area of hexagon = area of rectangle area of hexagon = 9s²√3/2, where s is the side length. 9(22²)√3/2 = 2178√3 ≈ 3772.41 area of rectangle = 18*22 = 396 shaded area = 3772.41 - 396 = 3376.41
The answer is 861.47 The equation for the problem is area of shaded area = area of hexagon - area of rectangle area of hexagon = [(3√3)/2]a^2 area of rectangle = length x width area of shaded area = {[(3√3)/2]22^2} - (18 • 22) area of shaded area = 1257.47 - 396 area of shaded area = 861.47
