Regular Hexagon
Math check: area = (3 sqrt(3) / 2) s^2, perimeter = 6s
Result
Enter a side length to compute the hexagon properties.

Formulas

A = (3 sqrt(3) / 2) s^2
P = 6s
a = (sqrt(3) / 2) s
R = s

How to Use It

  1. Enter a positive side length.
  2. Read the area, perimeter, apothem, and radii.
  3. Use the diagonals for fit and layout checks.

Worked Example

If the side length is 5, the perimeter is 30 and the area is about 64.9519.

The circumradius equals the side length, so it is 5.

Notes

A regular hexagon can be decomposed into six equilateral triangles of side s.
