Here is the problem: Find the area of a regular hexagon with side 2.

2
00:00:05.210 --> 00:00:12.211
Compute the area from the shape prime s dimensions, all in the same length unit; the area is in that unit squared.

3
00:00:13.011 --> 00:00:15.321
Apothem (centre to the middle of a side).

4
00:00:15.771 --> 00:00:17.838
Half the perimeter times the apothem.

5
00:00:18.638 --> 00:00:26.893
So the answer is Area equals 10.39230485 square units; perimeter equals 12 units.

6
00:00:27.343 --> 00:00:35.319
Area measures how many unit squares fit inside a flat shape, so it is always in squared units such as cm squared or m squared.

7
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:42.551
The area 10.39230485 is positive and in square units.
