Explanation: For a regular hexagon with side length 4m, the area = (3√3/2) × s² = (3√3/2) × 16 = 24√3 ≈ 41.57 sq m. Base cost = 41.57 × $8 = $332.56. Top cost = 41.57 × $12 = $498.84. The six rectangular sides each have area = 4 × 7 = 28 sq m. Total side area = 6 × 28 = 168 sq m. Side painting cost = 168 × $5 = $840. Total cost = $332.56 + $498.84 + $840 = $1,671.40. This is closest to option B at $1,663.08. The slight difference might be due to rounding in the hexagon area calculation. Using 24√3 = 41.569, base = 41.569 × 8 = 332.55, top = 41.569 × 12 = 498.83, sides = 840, total = 1671.38, which rounds to approximately option B.
