The diagram below shows a "regular" hexagon. The word "regular" here has a specific geometric meaning; it means that all the side lengths are equal and all the angles are congruent.
The diagram indicates that the side length (remember - all sides are the same) is
The diagram also shows us the length of a line called the "apothem" (the dotted line), which goes from the center of the polygon to the midpoint of a side. The length of the apothem is
The hexagon's total area is
