Answer:

13.5√(3) ft^2

Explanation:

In this, question, we are to calculate the area of the hexagon

Mathematically, we can calculate the area of a hexagon using the formula;

A = {3√(3)/2}a^2

where a is the length of the side which is 3 feet

substituting the value of 3 into the formula, we have;

A = 3√3/2 * 3^2 = 27 √(3)/2 = 13.5√(3) ft^2
