Easiest way (at least for me) to think about it is to notice that a hexagon is made up of six equilateral triangles. You say you know the distance between the two sides of the hexagon; we'll call that L. The height of each triangle is L/2. The triangles have angles of 60 degrees, so the base of each triangle is (L/2) / tan(60) * 2, or L/sqrt(3), because tan(60)=sqrt(3)/2. The area of each triangle is therefore L2/(2 sqrt(3)). You've got six of those, so the total area is 3 L2/sqrt(3), or sqrt(3)*L2.

What is the measure of each exterior angle of a hexagon?
60 degrees
If four angles of a hexagon measure 53 degrees 126 degrees and 117 degrees what is the sum of the measure of the other two angles?
64 degrees because the total of the angles has to equal 360 degrees for it to be a hexagon.
What is the measure of the exterior angl of a regular hexagon?
360/6 = 60 degrees
The measure of each interior angle in a polygon is 120 What is the name of the polygon?
A regular hexagon.
What is the Measurement of the interior angles of a hexagon?
The interior angles of a regular hexagon measure 120° A regular hexagon has all sides the same length and all angles are equal.
What is the measure of an exterior angle of a hexagon?

Find the measure of the hexagon and round to the nearest tenth?
whats the measure of a hexagon
What is the area of a hexagon with sides that measure 20cm?
The area of a hexagon with sides that measure 20cm is approximately 1039.23cm2
What is the measure of one angle in a hexagon?
It depends, because a hexagon does not have to look like a regular hexagon. If you are referring to a regular hexagon, the measure of each angle is 120o . If you are referring yo an irregular hexagon, you're going to have to use a protractor for that.
What is the measure of each angle of a hexagon?
in a regular hexagon, pi/3 radians
What is the angle in a hexagon?
A hexagon, in general can have an angle of any measure. In a REGUALR hexagon, each interior angle is 120o.
Find the measure of each exterior angle of a hexagon?
Providing that it is a regular hexagon then each exterior angle will measure 60 degrees
