Answer:


216\sqrt{3\text{ }}\text{ in}^2

Explanation;

Here, we want to get the area of the regular hexagon

Mathematically, we have that as:


A\text{ = }(3√(3))/(2)a^2

where a represents the length of one of the sides which is 12 in

Substituting the value, we have it that:


\begin{gathered} A\text{ = }(3√(3))/(2)*\text{ 12}^2 \\ \\ A\text{ = 216}\sqrt{3\text{ }}\text{ in}^2 \end{gathered}
