To find the area of a Regular hexagon with side length (x) you need:
1. The "radius" of the hexagon. (Just the length from the center to the outside edge.)
2. The apothem. (which is only just half of the height of the base.)
**If you don't have one or both of these you can't do it.**
Steps:
1. Make a triangle of the apothem (used as a) and the radius. (r)
2. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find 1 half of the side length.
3. Multiply the actual side length by 6.
4. Multiply that by a.
5. The area is your answer.

Find the area of a regular hexagon if its perimeter is 60 cm?
A hexagon has 6 sides. The area of a regular hexagon that has a perimeter of 60 cm is 259.81 cm squared.
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.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular hexagon with side lengths of 13?
A regular hexagon has six sides. You simply multiply the side length by six: 13 x 6 = 78
How many axes of symmetry can you find for a hexagon?
For a regular hexagon I can find 6. For an irregular hexagon I can find fewer.
How do you find the width of a rectangle with area and length?
Width * Length = Area so..... Width = Area / Length
How do you do find the area of a hexagon?
(3x2 √3) / 2 Where x is the length of a side, given that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. However, if the hexagon is is not regular, you will have to find the area of the two trapeziums within the hexagon, find the area of them, and add them together.
What is the area of hexagon?
(3x2 √3) / 2 Where x is the length of a side, given that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. However, if the hexagon is is not regular, you will have to find the area of the two trapeziums within the hexagon, find the area of them, and add them together.
Area of regular hexagon is 8748sqcm find the length of side and also perimeter of hexagon?
Side length is about 58cm and the perimeter is about 348cm
The area of a given hexagon is equal to the area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 36 inches Find the length of a side of the regular hexagon?
The area of a given hexagon is equal to the area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 36 inches. Find the length of a side of the regular hexagon.Click once to select an item at the bottom of the problem.
Find the area of the regular hexagon described in the question above?
Let s be the length of a side of the hexagon and let h be the the apothem 6(1/2sh) it the area of 3sh.
Find the area of a hexagon with side a length of 14in Show all work for credit?
Obviously homework, so I'll give you some pointers:Assuming it is a regular hexagon then:Draw in all three diagonals of the hexagon - this will split the hexagon into 6 equilateral triangles.Sum the areas of the triangles to give the area of the hexagon.Use Pythagoras or trigonometric ratios to find the altitude of the triangles; the base of the triangles is the length of the side of the hexagon.
How do you find the surface area of a hexagon?
The surface area of a hexagon is the same as its area. You will normally need to split the hexagon into triangles, find their area and sum these.
How do you find the area of a hexagon that is inscribed in a circle?
The area of any hexagon is 6(0.5)(L)(L sin 60o) = 3L2 sin 60o, where L is the length of one side and is also the radius of the circumscribed circle.
What is the formula to find volume of a hexagon?
The volume of a standard hexagon can be given by the product of 6 times the length of one side of the hexagon and the height. Note that for a hexagon to have volume, it must have another dimension that is height.
How do you calculate an area of a hexagon?
If it is a regular hexagon then make 6 triangles then find the area of one then multiply by 6.
How do you find the area of a hexagon with 6 inches sides?
very easy calculate the length of each side then add them that is the area edit- Im not sure how, but that is not correct at all^ haha.
How do you find the diameter around a hexagon?
If it's a regular hexagon, six times a side. If not, then the sum of the length of the sides.
