Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations?
No. Regular tessellations use only one polygon. And, according to the strict definition of regular tessellation, the polygon must be regular. Then a tessellation using rectangles, for example, cannot be called regular.
It is possible to construct a regular hexagon using only a straightedge and a compass?
Yes.
You can draw a regular hexagon using only a straightedge and compass by first building an equilateral triangle?

What is the measure of each angle in a regular hexagon?
120 you can find the angle of any regular polygon by using this formula...n is the number of sides ((n*180)-360)/n
Formula for area of a hexagon?
The question does not state that it is a regular hexagon and so you may not assume that it is. Therefore, there is no simple formula because a hexagon can have very many shapes. One method would be to pick a point in the plane of the hexagon and join it to all the vertices. This divides up the hexagon into triangles. Their areas can be calculated using base and height, or three sides, or two sides and included angle - whichever you like. Finally the areas of the triangles must be combined to get the area of the hexagon.
