Formula for the Area of a Hexagon

The area of Hexagon is given by

For More Mathematics Doubts visit main page of Physics Wallah

Area of Hexagon = (3√3 s²)/ 2

where “x” denotes the sides of the hexagon.

There is one more formula that could be used to calculate the area of regular Hexagon:

Area= 3/2.d.t

Where “t” is the length of each side of the hexagon and “d” is the height of the hexagon when it is made to lie on one of the bases of it.

Similarly, if we are to find the area of the polygons- like area of a regular pentagon, area of octagon-

Area of Regular Pentagon= ¼ √ (5+2√5 a²)

Where ‘a’ denotes the length of the each side of the pentagon.

Area of Regular Octagon = 2(1+√2)a²

Where ‘a’ denotes the length of the each side of the octagon.
