What is the apothem of a regular hexagon with sides of 16 inches?

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.


What is the area of a hexagon with a side of 10 inches and an apothem of 8 inches?

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.


What is the area of a regular hexagon with a perimeter of 36 inches and an apothem of 5.2 inches?

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.]

What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side length of 2 centimeter and an apothem length of 10.4 centimeters?

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 perimeter of a hexagon with a side length of 12 inches?
