A hexagon has sides measuring $8$ cm long. What is the area of the hexagon?

The formula to find the area of a regular hexagon with side length $s$ is given by:

$\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2} s^2$

For a hexagon with side length $8 \text{ cm}$ , substitute $s = 8$ into the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2} \times 8^2$

Calculate $8^2$ :

$8^2 = 64$

Substitute back:

$\text{Area} = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2} \times 64$

This simplifies to:

$166.28 \text{ cm}^2$

166.28 cm²
