Three Geometry questions!
The area of a regular polygon is 1/2 * apothem * perimeter
what is the apothem?
That's the radius
Ah okay, sorry.
So 1/2*5*?
I'm new to this so I'm unsure about a few things I'm sorry
You'll need to find the apothem by drawing a picture.|dw:1478286706846:dw|
You can tell from the picture that a regular hexagon is made of many smaller triangles. You'll need to find the area of the triangles above and multiply by 12.

oh okay so I solve that now
Yeah. Just solve the equation of the bottom of the picture and multiply by 12. You'll get a bit less than 65, but you should be able to get to 65 by rounding to the nearest tenth.
oh alright, I'm sorry if i'm taking too long to respond I was working on a different question
anyway thank you! now I just need the others
I'm thinking that #4 is C?
I'm not fully sure how to do the last one though
found it out
#4 is C and #5 is A
