<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Exact area = 
square cm</h3><h3>Approximate area = 2.598 square cm</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
s = side length of equilateral triangle = 1 cm
A = area of equilateral triangle with side length 's'
This is just one of the 6 equilateral triangles (see diagram below)
Multiply by 6 to get the area of all 6 equilateral triangles, or the entire hexagonal area
