The area of the hexagonal planter is 10.32 m²

<h3>Regular hexagon</h3>

Regular hexagon are polygon with 6 sides and are equiangular. This means the angles are the same.

area of hexagon = 1 / 2 × apothem × perimeter of hexagon

apothem = 1.72 m

side length = 2 m

area of hexagon = 1 / 2 × 1.72 × 6(2)

area of hexagon = 1 / 2 × 1.72 × 12

area of hexagon = 20.64 / 2

area of hexagon = 10.32

area of hexagon = 10.32 m²
