The formula for the area of a regular hexagon as a function of the measure of one of the sides, denoted 
, is:
Therefore, the ratio of the areas of two regular hexagons is the square of the ratio of the measures of their sides. 10 divided by 2 is 5. 5 squared is 25. Your bigger hexagon is about 259 square inches.
