Explanation:
Area = (3√3/2) s²
where s is the length of each side.
In this case, since s = 3 cm, the formula becomes:
Area = (3√3/2) × 3²
Area = (3√3/2) × 9
Area = (3 × 1.732/2) × 9
Area = (5.196/2) × 9
Area = 2.598 × 9 cm²
Therefore, the area of the regular hexagon with sides of 3 cm each is 23.382 square cm.
