Question

To find the length of apothem a in a regular hexagon with sides of length 6 cm, one could solve the equation tan 60° =  .

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a regular hexagon, the apothem can be found using the formula: apothem = (side length)/(2tan(30°)) or (side length)/(2tan(π/6)).

Substituting the given side length of 6 cm into the formula gives:
apothem = 6/(2tan(30°)) = 6/(2(√3/3)) = 6/√3 = 2√3 cm.

Therefore, the given equation tan 60° = 11eb4b36_76dd_3e99_a05a_ab85e37b8d10_TB7237_11 is irrelevant to finding the length of the apothem in a regular hexagon with sides of length 6 cm.
