side length = apothem * sqrt(3)/2 = 12

area = (1/2) * (number of sides) * (side length) * (apothem)
= (1/2) * 6 * 12 * 8sqrt(3)
= 288sqrt(3)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

            The solutions by   @CubeyThePenguin is INCORRECT.

            I came to bring you the correct solution.

side length = = = 16 units. area = (1/2) * (number of sides) * (side length) * (apothem) = = square units.

Solved (correctly).
