see  the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

2L---------> lenght side of hexagon


we know that

in one of those triangles

sin 30=1/2

sin 30=L/hypotenuse

solve for L

L=hypotenuse*sin 30-------->L=( 1 8 √ 3 )*(1 /2)------> L=9√3 units


Find the perimeter

perimeter=(2L)*6--------> L*12-------> Perimeter=9√3*12--------->108√3 units


therefore


the answer is

the perimeter of the regular hexagon is 108√3 units
