## Finding the Area of Regular Polygons

In this exercise, we are tasked with finding the area of the following regular polygons and rounding all answers to the nearest tenth.

### Problem 13:
A regular hexagon is shown with a side length indicated as 12 units.

### Problem 14:
A regular triangle (equilateral triangle) is shown with a side length indicated as 7 units.

### Problem 15:
A square is shown with a side length indicated as 1.3 units.

For each of these problems, use the appropriate formula for the area of the corresponding regular polygon:

1. **Hexagon (six sides):** \(\text{Area} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} s^2\)
2. **Triangle (three sides):** \(\text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} s^2\)
3. **Square (four sides):** \(\text{Area} = s^2\)

where \(s\) represents the side length of the polygon. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

By solving these exercises, you will deepen your understanding of calculating the area for different types of regular polygons.
