Find the area of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle of radius 8cm
-
A.
16(sqrt{3}) cm3 -
B.
96(sqrt{3}) cm3 -
C.
192(sqrt{3}) cm3 -
D.
16(sqrt{3}) cm2 -
E.
33cm2
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Area of a regular hexagon = 8 x 8 x sin 60o
= 32 x (frac{sqrt{3}}{2})
Area = 16(sqrt{3}) x 6 = 96 (sqrt{3})cm2
