Hexagon is equal to the area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 36 inches. find the length of a side of the regular hexagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 36 inches

Formula of perimeter of equilateral triangle =

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus each side of equilateral triangle is 12 inches

Formula of area of equilateral triangle =

Where a is the side .

So, area of the given equilateral triangle =  

                                                                   =  

Since hexagon can be divided into six small equilateral triangle .

So, area of each small equilateral triangle =

                                                                   =  

So, The area of small equilateral triangle :

Where a is the side of hexagon .

Hence the length of a side of the regular hexagon is

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
