The area will depend on the shape of the hexagon. You may have to divide it up into triangles, calculate the area of each triangle and then sum the answers.
The answer to the question is at the end of the question!
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.
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.
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.

Draw lines from point to point and now you have six triangles to calculate

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.
Area of hexagon= Area of original triangle/10
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.
(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.
The area of a hexagon with the perimeter of 120ft is 1,039.2ft2
