Given the perimeter of a regular hexagon, it is better to use the side length: 6 inches, rather than the apothem of 5.2 inches because the latter is he rounded value of 3*sqrt(3) which is 5.196152... rather than 5.2.

Based on the length of the sides, the area is approx 93.53 sq inches. [The apothem would have given 93.67 sq inches.]
