Question 1143043
.
A regular hexagon has sides of length 8 cm. find the perpendicular distance between two opposite {{{highlight(cross(faces))}}}  <U>sides</U>.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
It is two times the height of the equilateral triangle with the side length of a = 8 cm.


The height in this case is  h = {{{(a*sqrt(3))/2}}} = {{{(8*sqrt(3))/2}}}.


Hence, the value under the question is  {{{8*sqrt(3)}}} = 13.856 cm (approximately).
