Question:

Find the area of regular hexagon whose side is 6 cm long.

Options:

54 sq. cm

36\(\sqrt{12}\) sq. cm

54\(\sqrt{3}\) sq. cm

60 sq. cm

Correct Answer:

54\(\sqrt{3}\) sq. cm

Explanation:

Area of Regular hexagon = 6 × area of one equilateral triangle

                                        = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\)a2

                                        = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) × 62

                                        = 54\(\sqrt {3}\) cm2
