Below is a hexagon that contains a rectangle inside it.
The area of the rectangle is 28 cm².
What is the area of the hexagon?
Since we are given the area of the rectangle, let's first work out the length of the missing side:
We'll now divide both sides by 7 to get:
Since all sides are equal in a hexagon, each side is equal to 4.
Now let's calculate the area of the hexagon:
Finally, we simplify the exponent in the denominator of the fraction to get:
41.56
