we know that
The area of the hexagon is equal to the sum of the areas of the six equilateral triangles
Let
x-------> area of one equilateral triangle
so
Divide by both sides
-------> area of one equilateral triangle
To find an equivalent expression for the area of the hexagon based on the area of a triangle, multiply the area of one equilateral triangle by
therefore
the answer is
The equivalent expression is equal to
