Frequently asked questions

Use A = (3√3 ⁄ 2) × side², which is about 2.598 × side². A side of 6 gives an area of about 93.53 square units.

A regular hexagon has six equal sides, so the perimeter is 6 × side. For a 6-unit side it is 36 units.

In a regular hexagon the longest diagonal passes through the centre and equals twice the side length.

No. These formulas apply only to a regular hexagon with six equal sides and angles.

The Hexagon Calculator uses the formula: Area = 2.598076211353316 × Side length ^ 2. For example, with side length of 6 units, the area is 93.5307.
