a)     Review the drawing and notes and check the formulas presented in the hand written note above assuming you are working with a hexagon with radius = 100 feet. Label each answer you get on your print out.

b)     Review the drawing and notes and check the formulas presented in the hand written note above assuming you are working with an n-gon with radius = n. Label each answer you get on another print out.

c)     Find the area of one of the triangles, say P1P2C assuming you are working with a hexagon with radius = 100 feet.

d)     Find the area of the hexagon with radius = 100 feet.

e)     Find the area of one of the triangles, say Δ P1P2C, assuming you are working with a hexagon with radius = n. Write your formula for the area on the second print.

f)     Find the area of the hexagon with radius = n. Write your formula for the area on the second print.
