The area is about 2338.27 square units, from the formula
A = 3/2 (sqrt 3) s2 or about 2.598 s2

Let's draw a segment from the center of the hexagon to the middle of a side. This segment is called the apothem. Then use the 30-60-90 triangle rule. If half of a side is 15, that means the apothem is 15√3.
If we divide the hexagon into equilateral triangles, we get 6 equilateral triangles.
So if we find the area for one of these triangles and multiply it by 6, we get the area of the hexagon. The area of a triangle is found by 1/2(b*h). The apothem is your height for the triangles. So plug the numbers in: 1/2(30*15√3). Solve: 1/2(779.4228) = 389.7114. This is the area of one triangle. Now we multiply by 6, and this becomes: 2338.2686

What is the perimeter of a hexagon with side of 5 cm?
The hexagon has six sides. So the perimeter will be 6a. a=5cm 6a=6x5 =30 cm
What is the measure of a central angle of a regular 12 sided polygon?
Each side subtends a central angle of 30 degrees.
What are the area and perimeter of a square inscribed inside a circle 30 ft in diameter?
Square inscribed a 30 ft diameter has a diagonal equal to 30 ft. Use the Pythagorean theorem, and side^2 + side^2 = 30^2 2s^2 = 900 s^2 = 450 side length = square root of 450, simplify 15sqrt(2) = s Area = s^2 = 450 square feet Perimeter = 4s = 4*15*sqrt(2) = 60 times the square root of 2
How do you find the area of a 30-60-90 degree triangle that has a square root as a side length?
Same as you would find the area of any triangle A = (1/2)[base][height]
What is the largest rectangular area one can enclose with 22 inches of string?
A square of side 5½ inches gives an area of 30.25 in2. This is maximum area. Rectangle 6 x 5 has area 30, 7 x 4 has area 28 etc etc.
