An equilateral triangle is cut from its three vertices to form a regular hexagon. What is the percentage of area wasted? -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

(c) 33.33%When an equilateral triangle is cut from its three vertices to form a regular hexagon then out of the 9 equilateral triangles that form ΔABC, three triangle, ΔADE, ΔFCG,ΔIHB are cut off and 6 remain in the hexagon.This means that \(rac{1}{3}\) rd of the area has been removed or wasted to get the hexagon.∴ Area wasted = \(\bigg(rac{1}{3} imes100\bigg)\)% = 33.33%
