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.

What is the formula of area of a hexagon?
For a regular hexagon it is: area_regular_hexagon = 3/2 × √3 × side_length²
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism?
The formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism is to take the area of the hexagon, then multiply it by the height of the prism.
What is the perimator of a hexagon formula?
If it is a regular Hexagon, then 6s will suffice.
What is the formula of a hexagon math?
The formula is: Number of sides = 6.
Hexagonal prism volume?
the formula to find the area of any prism is to find the area of the base (a regular hexagon, meaning that all sides and angles are the same) and multiply by the height of the prism. To find the area of a hexagon you multiply the apothem by the perimeter of the hexagon, and then divide that by 2. the apothem is a line from the center point to the center of any side, forming a right angle with a side, it doesn't matter which one. Once you find the area of the hexagon, multiply it with the height.
