If you Google "area of a hexagon," you'll find quite a few websites with illustrations that will explain this better than I can without them. If you draw three diagonals from opposite corners of the hexagon, you will notice that the hexagon has been divided into six equilateral triangles. If you then draw six lines from the center to the midpoint of each side, you will have created twelve equal right triangles and can find the area of each by taking half of the base (which is half of a side) times the height. Multiply that by 12 and you have the area of the hexagon. The height of each triangle is the line you drew from the center to the middle of the side. This is known as an "apothem."

How do you find aras of triangles and parallelograms?
Triangles you use : (base x perpendicular height) divided by 2. Parallelogram: you need to find the area of one of the side triangles, then double it (because there's two of them). Then find the area of the square in the middle, and add this to the area of the two triangles.
How do you calculate area like diff shapes?
Cut them into triangles and use the pythagorean theorem
What are the number of square units needed to cover a region or figure?
The number of square units needed to cover a region or figure is known as its area. To calculate the area, you can use specific formulas depending on the shape, such as length times width for rectangles, or 1/2 times base times height for triangles. For irregular shapes, you might use calculus or approximation methods. The result gives you the total square units required to cover the figure completely.
Do you find the area of irregular shapes?
The best way would be to break the irregular shape down into several familiar shapes. If you can break down a complex figure into a rectangle and two triangles, for instance, you can use the known formulas for the area of those shapes to determine the total area when all added together.
What units of measure do we use in measuring the area of triangles and parallelograms?
Surface area is measured in square units.
How you can use two triangles to show that the sum of the angle measure in a four-sided figure is 360 degrees?
If you are allowed to "know" that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, then you can construct the diagonal of the four sided figure making two triangles and when you add 180 to 180 you get 360.
How can you use triangles to find the area of circle?
If you draw your triangles using the centre of the circle as one vertex and two more on the circumference, the area of the circle is approximately equal to the sum of the areas of the triangles; the smaller you make the triangles, the more accurate your result will be.
How do you find the area of a figure using 3.14 as Pi?
Use the formula for the particular figure
Does total distance equal the area?
No. The formula for the area of a rectangle, the easiest to measure, goes as follows goes as follows: X=distance of side A Y=distance of side B A=area of figure Now, the formula is:(X)(Y)=A for other figures you convert them into triangles where you can use (Base)(height) divided by 2=A this is called triangulation.
