1. 956 mi(2)
2. 1038 mi(2)
3. 1352 mi(2)
4. 1124 mi(2)


Sagot :

The area of a hexagon is [tex] \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} [/tex] where a = one side

[tex] \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} 20^{2} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{3*200 \sqrt{3} }{2} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{600 \sqrt{3} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]300 \sqrt{3} [/tex] ≈ 1038 mi²
