Answer:

12√3 inches or 20.785 inches.

Explanation:

A regular hexagon can be defined as a polygon with 6 sides.

The formula for the perimeter of a regular hexagon =

6 × the length of the sides of the hexagon.

From the above question, we are told that there is an inscribed circle I'm the hexagon with a diameter of 4√3 inches long

Step 1

Find the radius of the circle

Radius of the circle = 4√3/2 = 2√3 inches

Step 2

The radius of the inscribed circle = Length of one of the sides of a regular hexagon.

Hence, the perimeter of the regular hexagon = 6 × 2√3

= 12√3 inches

= 20.784609691 inches.

Approximately 20.785 inches
