Problem: A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle with a two-inch radius. What is the side length of a square with the same area as the hexagon? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What I have done: made many drawings, Found the area of the trapezoid and then x 2 to get the area of the hexagon. I know that a regular hexagon has all equal sides. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Did you get 3sqrt3 as the area of the hexagon?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "If you did your next step is:
\n" ); document.write( "s^2=3sqrt3, where s^2 is the area of a square with side = s.
\n" ); document.write( "Then s^2 = 3^(3/2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then s = 3^(3/4) (final answer)\r
