Question

A regular hexagon has a total side length of 12, find its area. (Solution please)

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is \[A = \frac12aP\]You have to find the apothem. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

Sorry, I really don't

Answer 3

Is there another way?

Answer 4

Well, this is the proper way to do this...to find the apothem of a regular hexagon, you have to know the 30-60-90 triangle ratios.
Therefore, the apothem is \(\sqrt{3}\). You already have the perimeter, so can you finish it up?

Answer 5

I get it, thanks
