You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area of a hexagon:
%286sqrt%283%29%2F4%29s%5E2
or
%283sqrt%283%29%2F2%29s%5E2
Where 's' is the length of one side.
.
For your problem:
s = 2%2Asqrt%283%29
.
Plugging in:
%283sqrt%283%29%2F2%29%282%2Asqrt%283%29%29%5E2
%283sqrt%283%29%2F2%29%284%283%29%29
%283sqrt%283%29%2F2%29%2812%29
%283sqrt%283%29%29%286%29
18sqrt%283%29
