What is the length of the apothem, rounded to the nearest inch. Recall that in a regular hexagon, the length of the radius is equal to the length of each side of the hexagon

The question requires us to calculate the length of the apothem in a regular hexagon:

N/B: Hexagon is a six-sided figure.

To get the length of the apothem we proceed as follows;

The formula for calculating the length of the apothem of any given reqular polygon is given by:

apothem=s/{2tan (180/n) }

where s=length of the sides

n=number of sides;

For example, of the length of the side of our hexagon is 5 cm, the length of the apothem will be:

apothem=5/{2tan (180/6) }

apothem=5/{2tan30}

apothem=5/{2*0.5774}=4.330 cm

Using the above formula we can calculate the length of apothem for any regular polygon.

the answer is C) 9 just got a 93.3 but this one was right
