Area of equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon is same, then find out the difference between the side of hexagon and triangle, if the side of equilateral triangle is 18 cm.1. 15 - 4√62. 18 - 3√63. 16 - 4√24. 20 - 6√6

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 18 - 3√6

Given :

Area of equilateral triangle is equal to the area of a regular hexagon 

Side of the equilateral triangle = 18 cm 

Formula used :

Area of equilateral triangle = (√3 × a2)/4  (where a is the side of the equilateral triangle)

Area of hexagon = (√3 × 3 × x2)/2 (where x is the side of hexagon)

Calculation :

Area of equilateral triangle = area of the hexagon 

(√3 × 182)/4 = (√3 × 3 × x2)/2

⇒ x = 3√6 

Difference of side of triangle and hexagon = 18 - 3√6

∴ The difference of sides of triangle and hexagon is 18 - 3√6 cm
