~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
The length of the side of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle is equal to the radius of the circle.


Find the radius of the given circle from the given area


    {{{pi*r^2}}} = 89.42

    r^2 = {{{89.42/3.14}}} = 28.477

    r = {{{sqrt(28.477)}}} = 5.34  (approximately).


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The side length of a regular hexagon inscribed in the given circle is 5.34 cm.

         The closest optional answer is B.
