Given the perimeter of a regular hexagon, it is better to use the side length: 6 inches, rather than the apothem of 5.2 inches because the latter is he rounded value of 3*sqrt(3) which is 5.196152... rather than 5.2. Based on the length of the sides, the area is approx 93.53 sq inches. [The apothem would have given 93.67 sq inches.]
It is 665.1 sq inches.

It is 374.12 sq inches.
The question cannot be answered. A regular hexagon with sides of 10 inches would have apothems of 10/sqrt(2) = 7.071 inches. Therefore the hexagon cannot be regular. And, since the hexagon is irregular, there is not enough information to answer the question.

We know that the height of an equilateral triangle equals the product of one half of the side length measure with square root of 3.Since in our regular hexagon we form 6 equilateral triangles with sides length of 16 inches, the apothem length equals to 8√3 inches.
It is 665.1 sq inches.
For a regular hexagon, half the side length can be calculated from the apothem via trigonometry: half_side_length = apothem x tan 30° Then: area = apothem x 1/2 x perimeter = apothem x 1/2 x side_length x 6 = apothem x half_side_length x 6 = 24 in x (24 in x tan 30°) x 6 ≈ 1995 sq in

4 times the square root of 3. Use an equilateral triangle and 30-60-90 triangles.
By joining all the vertices to the centre of the octagon, the apothem forms the height of the triangles with the side of the regular octagon as the base. This the area is 8 × area_triangles = 8 × ½ × side × apothem = 4 × side × apothem: Area_regular_octagon = 4 × side_length × apothem ≈ 4 × 4 in × 4.8 in = 76.8 in²
Perimeter of regular 6 sided hexagon: 6*7 = 42 inches
