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.

4 times the square root of 3. Use an equilateral triangle and 30-60-90 triangles.
what is the area of a regular hexagon with sides lengths of 12 inches long
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.
6 A Regular Hexagon has six sides of equal length, and 6 equal angles.
Not necessarily. However, a Regular hexagon has equal internal angles and equal sides (edges).
