A regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle in a circle |
2010-04-05 |
|
From Beth:
A regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle are both inscribed in the same circle so that the hexagon and the triangle share three vertices. The radius of the circle is 10cm. What is the difference between the area of the hexagon and the area of the triangle?

A triangle inscribed in a circle |

From Wanda:
I have the same question that you guys answered 2007-03-02. I need more clarification. I UNDERSTAND how to get the radius=3, I get that it is an equilateral triangle so each vertex is 60 degrees, I get that area of triangle is 1/2 bh.
I DO NOT understand why we multiply area X 3 , or how to calculate the values of base and height. Please explain a little further. Thanks.

From Dirk:
My daughter has a school project where she must draw a circle and then draw an equilateral triangle inside the circle. She said you have to identify six points on the circle to correctly draw the triangle. How do you accomplish this?
