Find the area of a regular hexagon with the given measurement.
4-inch side
i got to 192 sqrt(3)
---------
Area+=+ns%5E2%2Acot%28180%2Fn%29%2F4 n = # of sides, s = side length of any regular polygon.
Area+=+6%2A16%2Acot%2830%29%2F4+=+24%2Acot%2830%29
Area+=+24sqrt%283%29 sq units
That doesn't reduce.
