Cut in half to make two trapazoids and find the area of one of the trapazoids. Don't forget to multiply the answers by two becasue you only found the area of half of the hexagon.
If you want to get really tricky or forget the trapazoid formula then cut in in sixths and find the area of a triangle. Then multiply the answer by six.

How do you calculate the area of a regular hexagon with the area of 60cm?
The answer to the question is at the end of the question!
What is the area of hexagon?
(3x2 √3) / 2 Where x is the length of a side, given that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. However, if the hexagon is is not regular, you will have to find the area of the two trapeziums within the hexagon, find the area of them, and add them together.
What is the area of a hexagon if one side is 5cm?
It is not possible to answer a question given only the length of one side of a hexagon unless we are told it is a regular hexagon. I added a link that lets you calculate areas of regular polygons.
How would you find the area and perimeter of a hexagon?
There is nothing in the question that allows you to assume that the hexagon is regular and so there is are no simple formulae. You will need to divide up the hexagon into simpler shapes. For example, pick any point inside the hexagon and join it to all the vertices. You will get six triangles. Calculate the area of each triangle and then and these areas together. Similarly, measure each side of the hexagon and add them together to get the perimeter.
What is the area of a hexagon with 5 centimeter sides?
The area of a hexagon with 5 centimeter sides is 64.95cm2
How do you calculate the area of a regular hexagon with the area of 60cm?

Find the area of the regular hexagon described in the question above?
Let s be the length of a side of the hexagon and let h be the the apothem 6(1/2sh) it the area of 3sh.
What is the area of a hexagon with a side of 10 inches and an apothem of 8 inches?
The question cannot be answered. A regular hexagon with sides of 10 inches would have apothems of 10/sqrt(2) = 7.071 inches. Therefore the hexagon cannot be regular. And, since the hexagon is irregular, there is not enough information to answer the question.
How do you find the surface area of a hexagon?
The surface area of a hexagon is the same as its area. You will normally need to split the hexagon into triangles, find their area and sum these.
Can you relate the area of triangle and the area of hexagon?
Area of hexagon= Area of original triangle/10
What figure has the greatest area a triangle or hexagon?
The question cannot be answered without additional information. For example, it could be a tiny hexagon, and a great big triangle.
What is the area of hexagon?
(3x2 √3) / 2 Where x is the length of a side, given that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. However, if the hexagon is is not regular, you will have to find the area of the two trapeziums within the hexagon, find the area of them, and add them together.
What is the area of a hexagon if one side is 5cm?
It is not possible to answer a question given only the length of one side of a hexagon unless we are told it is a regular hexagon. I added a link that lets you calculate areas of regular polygons.
What is the area of a hexagon with the perimeter of 120ft?
The area of a hexagon with the perimeter of 120ft is 1,039.2ft2
How do you do find the area of a hexagon?
(3x2 √3) / 2 Where x is the length of a side, given that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. However, if the hexagon is is not regular, you will have to find the area of the two trapeziums within the hexagon, find the area of them, and add them together.
What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side of 4 and an apothem of 3 46?
Easy. Since the side is the base and the apothem is the height of the triangle, multiply them and divide by two to get the area of the triangle. 3 * 3.46 = 10.38 /2 = 5.19. Then multiply by 6 to get the area of the hexagon. 5.19 * 6 = 31.14. You multiply by 6 because you can fit 6 regular triangles in a regular hexagon. We've already found the area of one regular triangle in the hexagon.
