Regular hexagon consists of 6 congruent triangles.
So the area, A, of the regular hexagon is 6 x the area of one triangle
The area of a triangle is half the base times the height
The height of a triangle is the apothem of the hexagon and the base is the side of the hexagon.
A = 6* 10.4 * (12/2) yard^2 = 374.4 yard^2
Divide the perimeter by 2, this will give you the sum of one length and one width.
68/2 = 34 yards
Now the length is 10 yards more, so subtract 10 from the 34 and divide by 2 again:
34 - 10 = 24
24 /2 = 12
The width is 12 yards.
The length is 12 + 10 = 22 yards.
1/4 because 6/24 can be simplified all the way down to 1/4
