We first need to assume it is a regular hexagon, otherwise the rules will not apply.
If we let L be the length of one side of the hexagon, the the area A = 3(√(3))/2
multiplied by L2 or
A=(3(√3)/2)×L2

The formula for a hexagon is 6x.5xsin(60)edge2 = 3xsin(60)edge2=2.598edge2.
There is no simple formula for the surface area of a general hexagon. The simplest solution is to partition it into triangles, calculate their areas and sum the results.
There is no standard formula. It is necessary to partition the irregular hexagon into more convenient shapes such as triangles and quadrilaterals, find their areas and sum the results.
Area of triangle = ½ base x altitude. Regular hexagon is 6 equal triangles so Area= 3 x base x altitude
To find the area of a regular hexagon, you can use the formula: Area = (Perimeter × Apothem) / 2. The perimeter of the hexagon is 6 times the side length, so for a side length of 2 cm, the perimeter is 12 cm. Substituting the values into the formula gives: Area = (12 cm × 1.7 cm) / 2 = 10.2 cm². Thus, the area of the hexagon is 10.2 cm².
