Dude, that's not an answer, though -.-

oh okay hold on

(n) = number of sides area of a polygon 1. B x H = (y) 2. (y) ÷ 2 = (y) 3. (y) x (n) = Area

For 23.4 I came up with "2.6*3/2*6" And for 46.8 I came up with "3*2.6*6"

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

if b=3 and h=2.6, each triangle has area: 3x2.6=7.8 7.8÷2=3.9 since the shape 6 sides, 3.9x6=23.4

ok idk what you did lol, but the Are of the hexagon is: 23.4
