Answer:

  • perimeter: 42 units
  • area: 73.5√3 ≈ 127.3 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the hexagon is equal to its radius: 7. The perimeter is 6 side lengths, so is

  perimeter = 6·7 = 42 . . . units

__

The area is half the product of the perimeter and the apothem. The apothem is cos(30°) = (√3)/2 times the side length, so is (7√3)/2.

  A = 1/2·perimeter·apothem

  area = (1/2)(42)(7√3)/2 = 73.5√3 . . . square units
