š Examples, Rules & Help
šHow to Calculate Hexagon Area
Enter Side Length
Input the side length of your regular hexagon in any unit (inches, cm, meters, etc.).
Apply Hexagon Formulas
The calculator uses Area = (3ā3/2) Ć sĀ², Perimeter = 6s, and other geometric relationships.
Calculate Properties
Get area, perimeter, apothem (distance from center to side), and circumradius.

š”Calculator Tips & Best Practices
š”Regular Hexagon Properties
A regular hexagon has all sides equal and all interior angles equal to 120Ā°.
šEfficient Packing
Hexagons provide the most efficient way to divide a plane with equal areas (honeycomb conjecture).
āArea Formula Memory
Remember: Area = (3ā3/2) Ć sĀ². The factor 3ā3/2 ā 2.598 for quick mental calculations.
