Aregular hexagon with a perimeter of 48 yd. Find the area of the polygon and round to the nearest tenth.

GivenL
A) The hexagon having the perimeter 48 yd.
As hexagon is six sided polygon and its perimeter is given by,
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=6\times a \\ a\text{ is the measure of each side.} \\ 48=6\times a \\ a=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]The area is calculated with the formula,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=6\times\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{4}\times a^2 \\ A=6\times\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{4}\times8^2 \\ A=166.3yd^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]B) the side length of pentagon is 6 ft . its area is calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt[]{5(5+2\sqrt[]{5})}s^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt[]{5(5+2\sqrt[]{5})}(6)^2 \\ =61.9ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
