Answer

$93.6 m^2$

Work Step by Step

The area of a triangle is : $A=\dfrac{1}{2} as$ where a is apothem and s shows the side of a triangle. Which is equal to $a=\dfrac{\sqrt 3 s}{2}=\dfrac{\sqrt 3 \times 6}{2}=5.2 m$ Now, $A=\dfrac{1}{2} as=\dfrac{1}{2} (5.2)(6)=15.6 m^2$ Since. the hexagon consists of 6 equilateral triangles, so we can calculate the area as: $A=15.6 \times 6=93.6 m^2$
