A regular hexagon is below. Solve for the area of the hexagon.

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


Six times the area of an equilateral triangle with the side length 14 units.


For the area of an equilateral triangle with the side length 'a',
use the standard formula  a%5E2%2A%28sqrt%283%29%2F4%29.


So,  the area of this hexagon is 


    area = 6%2Aa%5E2%2A%28sqrt%283%29%2F4%29 = 6%2A14%5E2%2A%28sqrt%283%29%2F4%29 = 6%2A7%5E2%2Asqrt%283%29 = 294%2Asqrt%283%29 = 509.223 square units approximately.

Solved.
