Correct Answer – Option 3 : 3 : 2
Given-
The perimeter of a regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle is same.
Concept Used-
Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 × Side2
Area of a regular hexagon = 3√3/2 × Side2
Calculation-
Let the perimeter of the triangle and hexagon be 6a
Each Side of Hexagon = a
Each Side of Triangle = 2a
Area of Hexagon = 3√3/2 × a2
Area of Triangle = √3/4 × (2a)2
⇒ √3a2
∴ The ratio of their areas = (3√3/2 × a2) : (√3a2)
⇒ 3 : 2
∴ The required ratio will be 3 : 2.
