A regular hexagon has sides of 2 feet. What is the area of the hexagon?

Solution:

We know that

The formula for the area of a regular hexagon is (3√3 s2)/2, where 's' is the length of the side of the hexagon.

It is given that

Sides of a regular hexagon = 2 feet

Area of hexagon = (3√3 s2)/2

Substituting the values

= (3√3 (2)2)/2

= 3√3 (4)/ 2

So we get

= 6√3 square feet

Therefore, the area of the hexagon is 6√3 square feet.

A regular hexagon has sides of 2 feet. What is the area of the hexagon?

Summary:

A regular hexagon has sides of 2 feet. The area of the hexagon is 6√3 square feet.
