Perimeter of hexagon with apothem of five

Perimeter of hexagon with apothem of five

Step-by-step explanation:

1.A hexagons is a six-sided polygon. When a hexagon is regular it has six equal side lengths and an apothem. An apothem is a line segment from the center of a polygon to the middle point of any one side. You usually need to know the length of the apothem when calculating the area of a hexagon.

2.We can also use the area formula to find the apothem if we know both the area and perimeter of a polygon. This is because we can solve for a in the formula, A = (1/2)aP, by multiplying both sides by 2 and dividing by P to get 2A / P = a. Here, the apothem has a length of 4.817 units

3.The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo) of a regular polygon is a line segment from the center to the midpoint of one of its sides. Equivalently, it is the line drawn from the center of the polygon that is perpendicular to one of its sides.

4.Multiply the side length by the number of sides to get the perimeter. The formula for finding the perimeter of a regular polygon is just the number of sides x the length of any side. Once you've multiplied those 2 numbers together, you've found the perimeter of the polygon

step-by-step explanation: you take each of the numbers and divide by the amount then you take the range
