Given the side length of a regular polygon you don't need the apothem and conversely.
Using the side length, you get an area of 52.61 sq metres.
Using the apothem, you get 52.69 sq metres.
The difference between the two is because, if the side were exactly 4.5 m, then the apothem would be side*sqrt(3)/2. This is 3.897 m (to 3 dp) rather than 3.9. The difference leads to the answer for the area being 52.6 or 52.7 sq metres.
However, the lengths are given to only 2 significant digits and to 2 sig digs, the area is 52 sq metres. This is a good example for people who insist on giving answers to spurious levels of accuracy.

How do you find the area of a hexagon without a side length?
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.
What is the area of a regular heptagon with a side length of 8 in. and an apothem of 8.3 in.?
232.57 square inches.
What is the area of a regular octagon with a side length of 4 inches and an apothem length of 4.8 inches?
By joining all the vertices to the centre of the octagon, the apothem forms the height of the triangles with the side of the regular octagon as the base. This the area is 8 × area_triangles = 8 × ½ × side × apothem = 4 × side × apothem: Area_regular_octagon = 4 × side_length × apothem ≈ 4 × 4 in × 4.8 in = 76.8 in²
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.
What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side length of 12 centimeters and an apothem length of 10.4 centimeters?
Abbreviations:A = Areap =Perimetera = apothemx = times (as in multiply)A = 1/2(ap)A = 1/2 (10.4 x 72)A = 1/2 (748.8)A = 374.4 square centimeters
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 area of a regular hexagon with apothem length of 24 inches?
For a regular hexagon, half the side length can be calculated from the apothem via trigonometry: half_side_length = apothem x tan 30° Then: area = apothem x 1/2 x perimeter = apothem x 1/2 x side_length x 6 = apothem x half_side_length x 6 = 24 in x (24 in x tan 30°) x 6 ≈ 1995 sq in
What is the side length of a regular hexagon with area 100 square centimeters?
5.7735026918962... The formula for the area of a hexagon is A=.5ap, or A=(1/2)ap, where A=area, a=apothem, and p=perimeter. This means that, because the area is 100, 100=.5ap, so 200=ap. Because in a regular hexagon the apothem is equal to the side length, what we are really saying here is that 200=6a2. Therefore, 33.333=a2, or a= about 5.77. This is the side length.
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.
A regular hexagon has an apothem length of 14 m. What is the area of the hexagon Round to the nearest whole number?
It is 679 square metres.
Area of the regular hexagon whose side length is 16 in and apothem is 8 square root 3 in?
It is 665.1 sq inches.
Find the area of a regular hexagon with a base of 10 and an apothem of 12?

A regular octagon with sides of length 7 and an apothem of length 10.49 has an area of?
Area in square units = 0.5*(apothem)*(perimeter)
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 side length of 20cm.?
The area of a regular hexagon with side length of 20cm is about 1039.23cm2
What is the area of a regular hexagon with a side of 4 and an apothem of 3 46?
Easy. Since the side is the base and the apothem is the height of the triangle, multiply them and divide by two to get the area of the triangle. 3 * 3.46 = 10.38 /2 = 5.19. Then multiply by 6 to get the area of the hexagon. 5.19 * 6 = 31.14. You multiply by 6 because you can fit 6 regular triangles in a regular hexagon. We've already found the area of one regular triangle in the hexagon.
