\begin{gathered} In\text{ this case, as a regular hexagon} \\ \text{radius = side} \\ Area\text{ =}3\cdot\frac{\sqrt[]{3}side^2}{2} \\ \text{side}=12in \\ side^2=144in^2 \\ Area\text{ =}3\cdot\frac{\sqrt[]{3}\cdot(144in^2)}{2} \\ \\ \text{Area}=374.1in^2 \\ \text{The regular hexagon's area is }374.1in^2 \end{gathered}
