QuestionABCDEFA B C D E F is a regular hexagon. a) What is one inner angle of a regular hexagon? b) Find CAE\angle C A E. c) Prove that triangle ACE is equilateral.

Studdy Solution
To prove that triangle ACEACE is equilateral, note the following: - All sides of the regular hexagon are equal. - Since AA, CC, and EE are vertices of the hexagon, segments ACAC, CECE, and AEAE are sides of the hexagon.
Since AC=CE=AEAC = CE = AE, and each side of the regular hexagon is equal, triangle ACEACE has all sides equal.
Additionally, CAE=60\angle C A E = 60^\circ, and similarly, ACE\angle A C E and CEA\angle C E A are also 6060^\circ because each vertex angle in an equilateral triangle is 6060^\circ.
Therefore, ACE\triangle ACE is equilateral.
Solution: a) One inner angle of a regular hexagon is 120120^\circ. b) CAE=120\angle C A E = 120^\circ. c) Triangle ACEACE is equilateral.
