Area of any polygon with n sides of length s =

A = 24cot(30)
A = 24sqrt(3)
Area =~ 41.57 sq inches

It's a good idea to be able to work these things. In the case of a regular hexagon, it's 6 equilateral triangles.
But, this one formula covers ALL regular polygons, so I like it.

The area of a regular hexagon is found using A = [3(sqrt{3})]/2 * (t^2), where t is the measure of one side of the regular hexagon.
In the formula above, replace t with your 4 and simplify.
