Legitbird -A very important formula to remember is the area of a regular polygon:A = (1/2)ap ,wherea = length of the apothemp = perimeter of the regular polygonA regular hexagon has 6 sides.  Each side of your hexagon equals 6. The perimeter is simply the sum of all six sides. 6 sides x 6 = 36.  So, p = 36.Now you know p = 36 and a = 3√3, so just plug these into the area formula above.Hope that helps
