Aregular hexagon has an apothem measuring 14 cm and an approximate perimeter of 96 cm.
what is the approximate area of the hexagon?

224 cm2

336 cm2
448 cm2
672 cm2

Given:
hexagon
apothem of the hexagon: 14 cm
perimeter of the hexagon: 96 cm

Area of the hexagon = [(3√3) / 2] a²     ; where a is the measure of the side

hexagon has 6 sides.

Perimeter = 6a
96 cm = 6a
96 cm / 6 = a
16 = a

We can also use the area of a triangle to approximate the area of the hexagon. There are 6 triangles in the hexagon .

Area of a triangle = (height * base) / 2
A = (14 cm * 16 cm) / 2
A = 224 / 2 
A = 112 cm²

112 cm²  * 6 triangles = 672 cm²
