If centre of a regular hexagon is at origin and one of the vertex on argand diagram is 1+2i, then its perimeter is
A
25
B
62
C
45
D
65
Answer
65
Explanation
Solution
Sol. Let the vertices be z0,z1,.....,z5w.r.t. centre O and ∣z0∣=5
⇒ A0A1=∣z1−z0∣=∣z0eiθ−z0∣ =∣z0∣∣cosθ+isinθ−1∣ =5(cosθ−1)2+sin2θ
⇒=52(1−cosθ) =5.2sin(θ/2)
⇒ A0A1=5.2sin(π/6)=5
(∵θ=62π=3π) .....(i)
SimilarlyA1A2=A2A3=A3A4=A4A5=A5A0=5Hence, the perimeter of regular polygon is
=A0A1+A1A2+A2A3+A3A4+A4A5+A5A0=65
