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.
Not necessarily. However, a Regular hexagon has equal internal angles and equal sides (edges).
6 A Regular Hexagon has six sides of equal length, and 6 equal angles.
The question cannot be answered. A regular hexagon with sides of 10 inches would have apothems of 10/sqrt(2) = 7.071 inches. Therefore the hexagon cannot be regular. And, since the hexagon is irregular, there is not enough information to answer the question.
Given the perimeter of a regular hexagon, it is better to use the side length: 6 inches, rather than the apothem of 5.2 inches because the latter is he rounded value of 3*sqrt(3) which is 5.196152... rather than 5.2. Based on the length of the sides, the area is approx 93.53 sq inches. [The apothem would have given 93.67 sq inches.]

Such a hexagon is impossible. A regular hexagon with sides of 2 cm can have an apothem of sqrt(3) cm = approx 1.73.It seems you got your question garbled. A regular hexagon, with sides of 2 cm, has an area of 10.4 sq cm. If you used your measurement units properly, you would have noticed that the 10.4 was associated with square units and it had to refer to an area, not a length.
what is the area of a regular hexagon with sides lengths of 12 inches long
Oh, dude, a hexagon has six sides, so if each side is 12 inches long, you just add them all up. So, 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 equals... does some quick math... 72 inches! Easy peasy, right? Like, who needs fancy formulas when you can just count the sides and add 'em up?
If you mean an apothem of 4.82 inches rounded to two decimal places then its area is 0.5*4.82*7*5 = 84.35 square inches.
A regular hexagon, like any other hexagon, has six sides.
If the hexagon's sides and angles are congruent, then it a regular hexagon.
If it is a regular 6 sided hexagon then its perimeter is 6 times 12 = 72 inches
