Answer:

Area is 72
√(3) or abt 124.71.

The polygon is a hexagon, so using 30-60-90, you would get that one side is 4
√(3). This tells you that the area of one triangle would be 12
√(3), and the area of the hexagon would be 72
√(3).

Answer:

Explanation:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.

I hope this explains a regular polygon
