7. Determine the area of a regular hexagon which has sides 8 cm long. A hexagon is a 6-sided polygon which may be divided into 6 equal triangles as shown in the figure. The angle 4 cm subtended at the center of each triangle is 360%6 = 60°. The other two angles in the triangle add up to 120° and are equal to each other. Hence, each of the triangles is equilateral with each angle 60° and each side 8 cm. /8 cm 60 8 cm
