A=area=54sqrt%283%29; a=side
A=%283%2Asqrt%283%29%2F2%29a%5E2
.
2A%2F%283sqrt%283%29%29=a%5E2 Put in value for A
.
%282%2854sqrt%283%29%29%29%2F%283sqrt%283%29%29=a%5E2
.
36=a%5E2 Find square root of each side.
.
6units=a The sides are 6 units long.
.
Perimeter=6a
Perimeter=6(6 units)=36 units
ANSWER: The perimeter of the hexagon is 36 units.
