How to find the area of a hexagon with only one side?

The area of a regular hexagon can be found by multiplying the length of each side by its internal angle. The internal angle of a hexagon is equal to 60 degrees. If you have a hexagon with only one side, the area of the hexagon will be the length of the single side.

How to find the area of a hexagon with multiple sides?

There is another type of polygon that can be made using a hexagon – a hexagon with multiple sides. This hexagon has six sides, each of which is a line segment. The area of a hexagon with multiple sides equals the sum of the areas of triangles formed by each segment.

How to find the area of a triangle with no sides?

The area of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its sides. Since we don’t have sides to measure, we’ll use the Pythagorean theorem to find the area. The triangle is shown in red below, with two legs of length x and two legs of length y.

How to find the area of a triangle with all sides

If you have a right triangle with sides of length a, b, and c, then you can use a property of triangles to find the area. The area of a triangle is equal to the length of its base multiplied by the height, so if you know the length of each of the sides of a triangle, you just need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse.

How to find the area of a triangle with only one side?

A triangle with only one leg has no area. In order to find the area of a triangle with only one side, you draw an altitude. An altitude is a line drawn from the vertex of a triangle to the opposite base. Now you take this line and find the area of the triangle formed by the base and the line.
