Hexagon Area and Trigonometric Functions

The video tutorial demonstrates how to use the embedded calculator in edoctrina to calculate the area of a regular polygon, specifically a hexagon. It guides viewers through setting the calculator to degree mode, inputting the formula, and using the tangent function to find the area. The example provided involves a hexagon with six sides, each two units long, resulting in an area of 10.39 square inches.
