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.

What is the Area of a regular hexagon with a base of 10 and an apothem of 20?

12 x 5 x 20 ie 1200squnits. I'm not convinced you can have such a hexagon, if the side is 10 then shouldn't the apothem have to be 5 root 3?

What is the area of a regular hexagon if a side is 30?

The area is about 2338.27 square units, from the formulaA = 3/2 (sqrt 3) s2 or about 2.598 s2--Let's draw a segment from the center of the hexagon to the middle of a side. This segment is called the apothem. Then use the 30-60-90 triangle rule. If half of a side is 15, that means the apothem is 15√3.If we divide the hexagon into equilateral triangles, we get 6 equilateral triangles.So if we find the area for one of these triangles and multiply it by 6, we get the area of the hexagon. The area of a triangle is found by 1/2(b*h). The apothem is your height for the triangles. So plug the numbers in: 1/2(30*15√3). Solve: 1/2(779.4228) = 389.7114. This is the area of one triangle. Now we multiply by 6, and this becomes: 2338.2686


A regular octagon with sides of length 11 and an apothem of length 8.85 has an area of what?

An apothem of a regular polygon is a segment from its center to the midpoint of a side. You can use the apothem to find the area of a regular polygon using this formula: A = pa/2 where p is the perimeter of the figure and a is the apothem. For a regular octagon with side length 11, the perimeter p = 8(11) = 88. So the area would be A = 88(8.85)/2 = 389.4 square units.

What is the side length of a regular hexagon with area 100 square centimeters?

5.7735026918962... The formula for the area of a hexagon is A=.5ap, or A=(1/2)ap, where A=area, a=apothem, and p=perimeter. This means that, because the area is 100, 100=.5ap, so 200=ap. Because in a regular hexagon the apothem is equal to the side length, what we are really saying here is that 200=6a2. Therefore, 33.333=a2, or a= about 5.77. This is the side length.


Area of the regular hexagon whose side length is 16 in and apothem is 8 square root 3 in?

It is 665.1 sq inches.


What is the area of a regular hexagon with apothem length of 24 inches?

For a regular hexagon, half the side length can be calculated from the apothem via trigonometry: half_side_length = apothem x tan 30° Then: area = apothem x 1/2 x perimeter = apothem x 1/2 x side_length x 6 = apothem x half_side_length x 6 = 24 in x (24 in x tan 30°) x 6 ≈ 1995 sq in

What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side length of 2 centimeter and an apothem length of 10.4 centimeters?

Such a hexagon is impossible. A regular hexagon with sides of 2 cm can have an apothem of sqrt(3) cm = approx 1.73.It seems you got your question garbled. A regular hexagon, with sides of 2 cm, has an area of 10.4 sq cm. If you used your measurement units properly, you would have noticed that the 10.4 was associated with square units and it had to refer to an area, not a length.


Hexagonal prism volume?

the formula to find the area of any prism is to find the area of the base (a regular hexagon, meaning that all sides and angles are the same) and multiply by the height of the prism. To find the area of a hexagon you multiply the apothem by the perimeter of the hexagon, and then divide that by 2. the apothem is a line from the center point to the center of any side, forming a right angle with a side, it doesn't matter which one. Once you find the area of the hexagon, multiply it with the height.


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.

What is the area of a regular hexagon with a perimeter of 36 inches and an apothem of 5.2 inches?

Given the perimeter of a regular hexagon, it is better to use the side length: 6 inches, rather than the apothem of 5.2 inches because the latter is he rounded value of 3*sqrt(3) which is 5.196152... rather than 5.2. Based on the length of the sides, the area is approx 93.53 sq inches. [The apothem would have given 93.67 sq inches.]
