There is o simple answer. 10% of a hexagon could look like a circle in the hexagon, a square in the haxagon, a similar hexagon with sides which are sqrt(0.1) as long, or lots of other shapes.
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 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.
When referring to it as a hexagon is not a faux pas.
If the hexagon's sides and angles are congruent, then it a regular hexagon.
