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
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
To calculate the area of a regular hexagon, you can use the formula: Area = (3√3 × side length²)/2. Substituting the value of the side length given, the area of a hexagon with a side length of 10 is (3√3 × 10²)/2 = 150√3. Therefore, the area is approximately 259.81 square units.
