Answer:

The polygon is divided into two trapezoids with equal measurements.

Area of a trapezoid:

1

2

(b1 + b2)h

Since the area of the hexagon equals the area of two trapezoids with equal measurements, do not multiply by 1/2.

(b1 + b2)h

(10 + 16)3

26(3)

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The area (A) of the hexagon is calculated as

A = perimeter × half the apothem

here perimeter = 6 × 10 - 60 and apothem = 7, thus

A= 60 × 0.5 × 7 = 210 → C
