What is the area of a hexagon?

One way to find the area of a regular hexagon is by first dividing it into equilateral triangles. You also need to use an apothem — a segment that joins a regular polygon’s center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side. read more

If we are not given a regular hexagon, then we an solve for the area of the hexagon by using the side length(i.e. ) and apothem (i.e. ), which is the length of a line drawn from the center of the polygon to the right angle of any side. read more

To calculate the area of a hexagon, use the formula a = 3 × square root of 3 × s^2 divided by 2, where a is the area and s is the length of a side of the hexagon. Just plug in the length of one of the sides and then solve the formula to find the area. read more
