you see there are 6 triangles in so yo know are of triangle=1/2*a*b*sinc <----this is for 1 triangle for you multiply by 6
and a and b will be 2.5 and 2.5 as it is a regular hexagon and all triangles inside will be equal side

Ah, got it! I actually thought of this but it faded away from my head. :p And then I got this idea that there had to be a specific formula to find the area of a hexagon in specific so I was cursing myself for not remembering it or writing it down in class. xD
Thanks alot! ^-^; Sorry for the trouble!

w_12_qp_43 question 5(b)
(y)(x)=5 Y(x+2)=6
yx/5 = Y(x+2)/6
substitute Y=1-y in the equation
((1-Y)x)/5 = (Y(x+2))/6
6x-6Yx = 5Yx +10Y
now substitute Y=6/(x+2)
6x - 6*6/(x+2)*x = 5*6/(x+2)*x + 10*6/(x+2)
6x - 36x/(x+2) = 30x/(x+2) + 60/(x+2)
solve it
you will get 6x^2 = 54x +60
divide the whole equ. with 6 and get the right ans.
x^2 - 9x -10 = 0
HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU
PRAY FOR ME FOR INSHALLAH I WOULD BE GIVING MY EXAM TOMMOROW
