Find the area • How can we find the area of this regular hexagon? 6
Vocabulary • Radius – The distance from the center to one of the vertices of a regular polygon. • Apothem – The distance from the center to one of the sides of a polygon.
Find the area • How can we find the area of this regular hexagon? 6
Central Angles • What will be the measure of all of the central angles combined? • What is the measure of each of the central angles?
Find the area • How can we find the area of this regular hexagon? 6
Steps for Find the Area • Create congruent triangles from the center of the polygon. 6
Steps for Find the Area 2. Find the central angle . 6 = = 60° 60°
Steps for Find the Area 3. Find the apothem. Notice: that the apothem cuts the central angle and side length in half, and forms a right angle with the side length. 6 The apothem of the regular hexagon is 3 we can find this by using special right triangles, in some cases you may need to use trigonometry. (SOH CAH TOA) 30° 6 3√3 60° 60° 3
Steps for Find the Area 4. Find the base of the triangle. In this case the base is given to us, in some problems we may need to use special right triangles or trigonometry to find the base. Base = 6 6 6 6 60° 6 6 6
Steps for Find the Area 5. Find the area of the triangle. Base = 6 Apothem (or height) = 3√3 = 6 60°
Find the Area • How can we use the same process to find the area of this regular pentagon? 6 The area of this regular pentagon is 61.95
Steps for Find the Area 6. Multiply the area of the triangle by the number of triangles in the regular polygon. (6) = The area of this regular hexagon is . 6
