Can I say this:
A = 1/2 * x * y
x = 10.4
12 * 6 = 72
y = 72
10.4 * 72 = 748.8
748.8 / 2 = 374.4
A = 374.4 yards^2

area?

Well, we already were given the apothem to be 10.4 yards.
The perimeter is the distance around our hexagon. But since we have the side length, and all the sides of a regular hexagon are the same, we can multiply the side length 12 by the number of sides 6 for the total perimeter. Is that clear?

Have you encountered this formula before?
A=\[\frac{ ap }{ 2 }\]
Where p is the perimeter and a is the apothem.
Still Need Help?

Okay soo...
A = 1/2 * a * p
a = 10.4
12 * 6 = 72
p = 72
10.4 * 72 = 748.8
748.8 / 2 = 374.4
A = 374.4 yards^2
