What is the slant height of this square pyramid. Answer in radical form.
The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon. What is the area of the base of the pyramid? Answer in radical form.
We can use the sine, here
sin(60”) = x / 4 multiply both sides by 4
4 sin (60°) = x
4 * √3 / 2 = x = 2√3 m = slant height
The area of the base =
6 * (1/2) (8^2) sin (60° ) =
192 * √3 / 2 =
96√3 m^2
