Question

how many sides does a hexagon have anyway?

anonymous · Answer

6 I think?

jdoe0001 · Answer

yeap,  it has 6, HEXA = 6, thus $\textit{area of a regular polygon}=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2\ cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=\textit{number of sides}\
s=\textit{length of one side}
\end{cases}$
