Hello!

You can divide a hexagon into 6 different triangles with bases of 10 and heights of 12

You can find the area of one triangle

0.5 * 10 * 12 = 60

The area of one triangle is 60 units

There are 6 triangles in the a hexagon so multiply this by 6

60 * 6 = 360

The answer is 360 units squared

Hope this helps!
