The formula of the regular hexagon.

[tex]A=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} \times a^2[/tex]

We have given that the side length of a rectangular hexagon is 8 inches.

a=8inches.

Use the value of the a in the given formula we have

[tex]A=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} \times 8^2\\A=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} \times 64[/tex]

A ≈ 166.28 inches square.

Therefore, the Estimate amount of glass needed to make the lampshade is 166.28 inches square.
