Each side of a hexagon is 350 feet and the apothem is 303 feet long. What is its area?

Answer 1

#318150# square feet

Imagine the hexagon as being split into 6 equilateral triangles, where the base is #350# feet and the height, or the apothem, is #303#.

We know that the area of one of these triangles is #1/2bh#, or #1/2(350)(303)=53025# square feet. Since there are 6 congruent triangles, the area of the entire hexagon is #6(53025)=318150# square feet.

The area of a regular hexagon can be calculated using the formula:

[ \text{Area} = \frac{3}{2} \times \text{apothem} \times \text{side length} ]

Given that each side of the hexagon is 350 feet and the apothem is 303 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the area.

[ \text{Area} = \frac{3}{2} \times 303 \times 350 ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
