Here we will discuss about the perimeter and area of a Regular hexagon and some example problems.
Perimeter (P) = 6 × side = 6a
Area (A) = 6 × (area of the equilateral ∆OPQ)
= 6 × \(\frac{√3}{4}\) a\(^{2}\)
= \(\frac{3√3}{2}\) a\(^{2}\)
If the area of a regular hexagon is 24√3 cm2, find its perimeter.
Solution:
Let the side of a regular hexagon be a.
Then, its area = \(\frac{3√3}{2}\) × (Side)2
= \(\frac{3√3}{2}\) × a2
Therefore, 24√3 cm2 = \(\frac{3√3}{2}\) × a2
⟹ a2 = \(\frac{48√3}{3√3}\) cm2
⟹ a2 = 16
⟹ Therefore, a ⟹ 4 cm.
Therefore, perimeter = 6a = 6 × 4 cm = 24 cm.
