(a)
Answer to Problem 15PPS
The side length of the smaller pan is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The side length of the larger pan is
Calculation:
Consider the formula to determine the area of the regular hexagon is,
Consider the given diagram as shown in Figure 1
Figure 1
Then, by the tangent ratio to find the apothem.
Then, the area is,
Then, determine the side length by substituting the area as,
Thus, the side length of the smaller pan is
(b)
