Hexagon Area and Properties

This video tutorial explains how to find the area of a regular hexagon. It introduces the formula for calculating the area, which involves the apothem and the perimeter. The video defines the apothem as the distance from the center to a side and explains how to calculate the perimeter by multiplying the side length by six. Finally, it demonstrates the calculation of the area using the formula, resulting in an area of 126 square units.
