Hi, there--
.
You need to provide some more information to get an answer to your question.
1. Do the six sides of the hexagon all have the same length?
2. Do all six interior angles have the same measure?
.
If the answer to both questions is YES, then re-post your question. Write that you have a REGULAR hexagon. You will also need to measure the length of one of the SIDES and include that as well.
.
If you don't have a regular hexagon, then finding the area is more complicated, but not impossible. You may email me at the address below, and I will help you out.
.
Good luck!
