Given:

Apothem of a regular hexagon = 5

Side of regular hexagon = 8

To find:

The area of a regular hexagon.

Solution:

Number of side of a hexagon: n = 6

Area of hexagon is


A=(n)/(2)* \text{Apothem}* \text{Side length}

where, n is number of sides of hexagon, i.e., 6.

On substituting the values, we get


A=(6)/(2)* 5 * 8


A=3* 40


A=120

Therefore, the area of regular hexagon is 120 sq. units.
