A regular hexagon can be considered as being built up of six equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has an area of (b/2) * sqrt (3b/2) where b is the side of the equilateral triangles that make up the hexagon and also the radius of the hexagon's circumscribed circle, and sqrt means the square root of
So the area of the regular hexagon with side length b is 3 * b * sqrt (3b/2)

How can you tell if a regular shape will tessellate?
It will tessellate if its vertices divide into 360 degrees evenly. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are an equilateral triangle, a square and a regular hexagon. There are other, non-regular, polygons that will tessellate.
Why does the formula for area of a circle work?
It says so in the formula
What is the formula used to calculate the area of an irregular shape?
To calculate the area of an irregular shape, you can use the shoelace formula. This formula involves dividing the shape into triangles and summing the areas of those triangles using the coordinates of the shape's vertices. The formula is based on the concept of Green's theorem in calculus and is widely used in geometry and computational geometry. It provides an accurate way to determine the area of any shape, regardless of its irregularity.
What is the name of a 6 sided shape?
It is called a 'Hexagon'
Formula for area of cone?
Curved surface area of a cone = pi*radius*slant length
