4. the area of a regular hexagon is 50 in. find the length of a side. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the area of regular hexagon is given as :

Area =

Where a is the length of a side.

Substituting the value given , we have :

50 =  

50 x 2 =

100 =

Divide through by

=

= 19.24500897

Take the square root of both sides :

a =

a = 4.3869

To the nearest tenth

a = 4.4

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
