Question

Find the area of a regular hexagon of side $8$cm.

Answer 1

Given that side of a hexagon = $a=8cm$

We know that the area of the regular hexagon

$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}{a}^2$

$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\times (8{)}^2$

$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\times 64$

$=96\sqrt{3}c{m}^2$

$\therefore$ Area of regular hexagon = $96\sqrt{3}{cm}^2$
