If it is a regular hexagon then make 6 triangles then find the area of one then multiply by 6.

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.
