For this case we have that by definition, the area of a regular hexagon is given by:


A = 6 (\frac {L ^ 2 * \sqrt {3}} {4})

Where:

L: It is hexagon side

According to the data of the statement we have:


L = 2 \ ft

Substituting:


A = 6 (\frac {2 ^ 2 * \sqrt {3}} {4})\\A = 6 (\frac {4 * \sqrt {3}} {4})\\A = 6 \sqrt {3}\\A = 10.4

Thus, the area of the hexagon is
10.4 \ ft ^ 2

Answer:

The area of the hexagon is
10.4 \ ft ^ 2
