How to Calculate Square Footage of a 6-Sided Shape
A regular 6-sided polygon (hexagon) has all sides equal and all interior angles equal (120° each). Hexagonal shapes are common in tile patterns, gazebos, and garden designs.
6-Sided Polygon Formula
This is the standard hexagon area formula. For irregular 6-sided shapes, use the irregular shape calculator.
Example Calculation
A regular hexagonal section has sides of 5 feet each.
2.59808 × 5² = 2.59808 × 25 = 64.95 square feet (6.03 sq m)
