Find the area of a regular hexagon with side length of 8 centimeters

Question

Rounded to nearest tenth

Answer 1

A regular hexagon consists of 6 equilateral triangles, each of side 8 cm.

Formula for area of one equilateral triangle is Area = s² √(3)/4 so just plug in the 8 for s, and multiply by 6 to account for all of the equilateral triangles, and evaluate with a calculator, rounding as directed.
