    The ratio of the sides of a rectangle and a regular hexagon is 4 : 3. The ratio of their areas is____________.
    Question

    The ratio of the sides of a rectangle and a regular hexagon is 4 : 3. The ratio of their areas is____________.

    A.

    32 : 273\sqrt 3

    B.

    16 : 27 √3

    C.

    32 : 27√2

    D.

    24 : 27√3

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The ratio of the side of a rectangle to the side of a regular hexagon is 4 : 3.
    Let the side of the rectangle (assumed square) = 4x.
    Let the side of the regular hexagon = 3x.
    Formula Used:
    Area of a square = side²
    Area of a regular hexagon = 332\frac {3\sqrt 3}{ 2}​ × side²
    Solution:
    Area of rectangle (square) = (4x)² = 16x²
    Area of regular hexagon = 332\frac {3\sqrt 3}{ 2}​ × (3x)² =332\frac {3\sqrt 3}{ 2}​× 9x² = 2732\frac {27\sqrt 3}{ 2}​x²
    Now, the ratio of the areas (Rectangle : Hexagon) => 16x² : (2732\frac {27\sqrt 3}{ 2}​)x² = 32 : 273\sqrt 3
    Therefore, the ratio of their areas is 32 : 273\sqrt 3
