Options:

147√3

441√3

196√3

294√3

Correct Answer:

294√3

Explanation:

Area of regular hexagon = 6 × area of one equilateral triangle.

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

                                       = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) 142

                                       = 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 196

                                       = 294 \(\sqrt{3}\)
