Question

PLEASE HELP!
I started out trying to find the perimeter of a hexagon with a side length of 12. I got 72. So I put 72 into the area equation of A=1/2pa. Which would be A=36a. I need the apothem, and i'm not sure what to do next to finish finding the area.

Answer 1

so what exactly do you want to know
do you need to find the area and you already have the perimeter

Answer 2

use this

\[a=\frac{s}{2tan(\frac{\pi}{n})}\]

Answer 3

I need to find the area, so I found the perimeter first

Answer 4

i'm assuming this comes with hte geometry if you take a small right triangle of the hexagon
