You are planning to use a ceramic tile design in your new bathroom. the tiles are blue-and-white equilateral triangles. you decide to arrange the blue tiles in a hexagonal shape as shown. if the side of each tile measures 4 centimeters, what will be the exact area of each hexagon shape?

Using the equilateral triangles, the hexagon shaped design will use 6 triangles.
Solve first for the area of the triangle using the formula.
Area of the triangle= sqrt3/4s^2
                                = 6.93 cm^2
Total area of the hexagon = 6 x area of the triangle
                                            = 41.57 cm^2

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
