Area of Regular Polygons

Question 2 • *CR CCSS Math 2 S2 [M2960OX]

A regular hexagon has a radius of 20 in. What is the approximate area of the hexagon?

Answer
A
600 in.2
B
1,038 in.2
C
1,200 in.2
D
2,076 in.2

Explanation

In a regular hexagon, the radius (center to a vertex) is equal to the side length, so each side is 20 inches. The area is (3√3/2)s² = (3√3/2)(20²) = 600√3 ≈ 1,039 square inches. Therefore, the closest choice is 1,038 in.².
