A regular hexagon has a side length of 6 units.
The hexagon can be divided into six congruent equilateral triangles.
The apothem is perpendicular to a side and forms two 30° right triangles.
The apothem is 3√3 units because it is the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side 6 (=(√3/2)·6).
If the formula for the area of a polygon is 1/2(perimeter)(apothem), the area of the hexagon is 54√3 square units.
