Hexagon Area Calculator

Work out hexagon area instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Hexagon Area Calculator

A regular hexagon has 6 equal sides. Splitting it into 6 isosceles triangles from the centre gives A = 6s² / (4·tan(π/6)), which evaluates to (3√3/2)·s² ≈ 2.598076·s².

Formulas

Area

A = 6s² / (4·tan(π/6)) = (3√3/2)·s² ≈ 2.598076·s²

Apothem

a = s / (2·tan(π/6))

Worked example

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the interior angle of a regular hexagon?

(6 − 2) × 180° / 6 = 120°.

Does the formula need a regular hexagon?

Yes. For an irregular hexagon use the shoelace formula on its vertex coordinates instead.
