Is it right to see the hexagon as made of six equilateral triangles each of area \(\frac{8*4sqrt(3)}{2} = 16sqrt(3)\) so that the area of the hexagon is six times the area of a triangle, i.e. \(6*16sqrt(3)=96sqrt(3)\)?

Could you please explain why you assumed that fact about hexagon while it's not given?
