The hexagon is a regular hexagon. 
So all we know are ALL sides=14.

@Hero  yes, I keep getting different answers :( I'm unsure, which one is correct. This question answer is going to help me with the other ones. Sorry.

hero · Answer

I told you to use 

$A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2$ to find the area of one equilateral triangle. Then multiply that by 6 to get the total area.

Using your formula @Hero I got:   Area=509.22 ft2
