the Regular hexagon :

Area=(1/2)*(radius of the inscribed circle)*perimeter units2

The irregular hexagon :

Area can be computed by the scalene triangle method.

from one of the points to the other vertexes,you get 3 diagonals and hence three scalene triangle.

hence

use the

area of a scalene triangle=sqrt(s (s - s1) (s - s2) (s - s3)) units2

where s=(s1+s2+s3)/2
