Question 36

In the given figure, $$PQRSTU$$ is a regular hexagon of side 12 cm. what is the area (in $$cm^2$$) of triangle $$SQU$$?

Solution

Now if we see all t=sides of triangle SQU are the third side of an isosceles triangle with one angle as 120 and other two angles as 30 
Let us consider triangle PUQ 
Cos 120 =(12^2+12^2-UQ^2)/2*12*12 
We get UQ = $$12\sqrt{\ 3}$$
Similarly all sides will be $$12\sqrt{\ 3}$$
Now area will be :$$\frac{\sqrt{\ 3}}{4}\times\ \left(12\sqrt{\ 3}\right)^2=108\sqrt{\ 3}\ sq\ cm$$
