Question:

Side of a hexagon is 4 cm. Side of a square is $4\sqrt{2}$ cm. What is the ratio of their areas?

Options:

$3\sqrt{3}:2$

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}:1$

$3\sqrt{3}:4$

$2\sqrt{3}:1$

Correct Answer:

$3\sqrt{3}:4$

Explanation:

Side of a hexagon = 4 cm

Side of a square = 4\(\sqrt {2}\)cm

 Area of hexagon = \(\frac{3}{2}\)\(\sqrt {3}\)(side)2

So, according to the question,

Area of hexagon =  \(\frac{3}{2}\)\(\sqrt {3}\)(4)2= 24\(\sqrt {3}\)

Area of the square = (4\(\sqrt {2}\))2 = 32 cm2

Area of hexagon: Area of the square = 24\(\sqrt {3}\) : 32 = 3\(\sqrt {3}\) : 4
