Answer to Problem 44RP
The honey comb which is made up of waxis
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Side of smaller hexagon=
Side of longer hexagon =
Formula used:
Apothem of
s = side of polygon
n = number of sides
Area of regular polygon:
Calculation:
Perimeter is sum of all sides.
Area of longer polygon:
n =6
Apothem of polygon:
Area of smallerpolygon:
n =6
Apothem of polygon:
Area of wax = Area of longer polygon - Area of smaller polygon
The percentage of wax is the ratio of area of wax and area of longer hexagon.
