A regular hexagon is below. Solve for the area of the hexagon.
https://ibb.co/dsnSzSLK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The area of any regular hexagon is six times the area of the central equilateral triangle.


In your case, the central equilateral triangle has the side length a = 14 units.


Its height is  h = .


So, the area of the central equilateral triangle is  

     =  =  =  =  =   square units.


The area of the hexagon is then   =  = 509.2229 square units (approximately).    ANSWER

Solved.

To solve the second problem, from the area of the hexagon   = 509.2229 square units 
subtract the area of the circle   =  = 50.26544  square units.


You will get then

    the area of the shaded region = 509.2229 - 50.2644 = 458.9575 square units  (approximately).    ANSWER

Solved in full.
