Answer to Problem 44RP

The honey comb which is made up of waxis 36% .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Side of smaller hexagon= 4

Side of longer hexagon = 5

Formula used:

Apothem of polygon:

  a=s2tan(180n)

s = side of polygon

n = number of sides

Area of regular polygon: A=12aP

  a=Apothem,P=Perimeter.

Calculation:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 11, Problem 44RP

Perimeter is sum of all sides.

Area of longer polygon:

n =6

Apothem of polygon:

  a=52tan(1806)=52tan(30)=5213=532

  P=5+5+5+5+5+5=30

  ALonger Polygon=12aPALonger Polygon=12(523)(30)ALonger Polygon=7523

Area of smallerpolygon:

n =6

Apothem of polygon:

  a=42tan(1806)=42tan(30)=4213=23

  P=4+4+4+4+4+4=24

  ASmaller Polygon=12aPASmaller Polygon=12(23)(24)ASmaller Polygon=243

Area of wax = Area of longer polygon - Area of smaller polygon

  AWax=7523243

The percentage of wax is the ratio of area of wax and area of longer hexagon.

Honey comb which is made up of wax =AWaxALonger Hexagon=27237523=2775=36%
