Question:

What is the area (in sq cm) of a regular hexagon of side 15 cm?

Options:

1360 \(\sqrt{3}\)

1380 \(\sqrt{3}\)

337.5 \(\sqrt{3}\)

1346 \(\sqrt{3}\)

Correct Answer:

337.5 \(\sqrt{3}\)

Explanation:

Area of regular hexagon = 6 × area of one equilateral triangle.

                                       = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) a2

                                       = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) 152

                                       = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 225

                                       = 337.5 \(\sqrt{3}\)
