Step-by-step explanation:

The hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles.  The height of each triangle is 3, so using 30-60-90 triangle properties, the base is 2√3.

That means the area of each triangle is:

A = ½ (2√3) (3)

A = 3√3

So the area of the hexagon is 6A = 18√3.

The percent error is:

(18√3 − 9π) / 9π × 100%

(2√3/π − 1) × 100%
