2. anonymous

did this on my calculator, not sure about it, but: 1039.23048

3. anonymous

6. anonymous

yeah im just trolling, i was gonna say 360, but she did already so yeah xD

7. ccswims

A = (1/2)ap, A = (1/2)(12)(60) = 360 units

8. anonymous

see i told u its 360

9. anonymous

your choices are weird, why isnt there 360?

10. anonymous

im not sure

Find the area of a regular hexagon with a base of 10 and an apothem of 20. 200 1200 600 300

16. anonymous

maybe you should just round

17. anonymous

how woud i round it

18. anonymous

round 360 to the closest huindred so whats the closest number to 360

19. anonymous

600 is too big 200 is to small and 300 is right

find the area of a triangle with base length 10 and height 20 then multiply that result by the number of triangles which is 6

24. anonymous

360

25. myininaya

how did you get that?

26. myininaya

the area of triangle is 1/2*base*height

27. myininaya

you have 6 of these triangles so the area of the hexagon equals 6*1/2*base*height where the base=10 and height=20

28. myininaya

$6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot 20$
