Find the area of a regular hexagon which has a perimeter of 36 meters
Each side is 6 meters (36/6)
-----------------------------
The area of any regular polygon with n sides of length s is:
Area+=+ns%5E2%2Acot%28180%2Fn%29%2F4
Area+=+6%2A36%2Acot%2830%29%2F4
= 54%2Acot%2830%29
= 54sqrt%283%29 sq meters
