Answer: is 162 cm^2.

explanation:

divide the perimeter of the rectangle by 2. 72/2 = 36. 36 cm is the perimeter of one square.

divide 36 by 4. this will give you the side length of the square. 9 cm is the side length of one square.

now use the area formula to find the area of the square. multiply the side length by the side length. 9 x 9 = 81 cm^2.

81 is the area of one square, but since there are two squares, multiply 81 x 2.

you get 162 cm^2.

Answer:

288 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 2 congruent squares, side by side, the perimeter is 6*sidelength.

We divide 72 by 6 to find sidelength, and get 12.

We square 12 to find the area of a square, and get 144.

Multiply by 2 to find the area of the rectangle, and get 288 cm^2

The regular hexagon has a radius of 4 in. What is the approximate area of the hexagon? 24 in.2 42 in.2 48 in.2 84 in.2

masha68 [24]

The central angle of a hexagon is 60°. Dividing it by two will give us 30°. The side opposite to 30° is 2 inches, multiplied by 2 is 4 inches. Thus, each side of the hexagon is 4 inches. Also, the apothem is 2sqrt(3). The area of the figure is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5aP
where a is apothem and P is perimeter
Substituting,
A = 0.5(2sqrt3)(4 x 6) = 24sqrt3
The answer is approximately 41.57 in².
