the distance between parallel sides of the hexagon is 9. determine the length of the hexagon

• Length of each side of regular hexagon will be 3*sqrt3. total length ( perimeter) of regular hexagon will be 18*sqrt3.
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(9)
• length of hexagon =height or distance b/w parallel sides/sqrt(3) ,therefore ans is 9/sqrt(3).
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(1)
• length of each side=h/sqrt3
  length=9/sqrt3
  18sqrt3 answer

• height of all equilateral triangles should be 9/2.by using height formula we can compute side i.e
  3* (3)^1/2

• Hexagon made by 6 equilateral triangle.height of equilateral triangle=9/2=4.5
  if x is the length of side of equilateral triangle then 4.5=sqrt3/2*x
  so x=3*sqrt3
  ans=6*3*sqrt3=18sqrt3

• As the apothem(the radius of inscribed circle) of any hexagon is root3*side...
  
  So the distance between the parallel sides should be 2*root3*side which is equal to 9..
  
  Therefore...side will be 9/2*root3= 3root3/2

• ans. is 9* sqrt 3.
  bcz ( a * sqrt 3 ) = 4.5
  a= (3*sqrt 3 )/2
  length of hexagon = ( 6* 3 sqrt 3) / 2

• Distance between || sides=9 which mean length of sides a =>sqrt(3)/2*a=9/2=>a=3*sqrt(3)=5.196
  
  => length of hexagon=6*a=6*5.196=31.177

• Let length of each side be a. In the same diagram we have seen above, it can be observed that distance between parallel sides of a regular hexagon with side a
  = 2 × height of the equilateral triangle with side a
  =(2*root(3)*a)/2=root(3)
  Using the above relation, we have
  9 = root(3)*a where a is the length of each side
  therefore, a=9/root(3)=3*root(3)
  required length of hexagon=6a=6*3*root(3)=18*root(3)
  so,answer is 18*root(3)
