Sorry I've got no drawing here, but try to visualize a hexagon from above, sides all 8' in length. If you divide it out that hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles each with a base of 8'. The area of each triangle is what, one half base times height? A little Pythagoras tells me the "height" would be the square root of 48. Multiply that all out: Root(48)*4*6 =166.28 square feet.
Man I loved geometry problems back in middle school =) -Ethan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
