Remark

You need 2 facts to solve this

1. The area of a hexagon is

A = 3*(sqrt(3) ) * a^2/2

Just to make this clear, I'll put it in Latex

$Area = (3*\sqrt3 a^2)/ 2$

2. The second fact you need to know is that the radius = the length of the side a.

Givens

r = 20 in

a = r where a is the length of the side of a hexagon.

Formula Substitute and solve.

A = 3*(sqrt(3) * a^2 ) / 2

A = 3*(sqrt(3) * 20^2) / 2

A = 3*sqrt(3) * 400 / 2

A = 3*sqrt(3) * 200

A = 3*1.7321 * 200

A = 1039 square inches.

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}

A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$130\\
r=rate\to 9.4\%\to \frac{9.4}{100}\to &0.094\\
n=

A=130\left(1+\frac{0.094}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 2}\implies A=130(1.0235)^8$
