This hexagon is split into two congruent trapezoids. You can find the area of one trapezoid and then double it to get the area of the entire hexagon. The formula for area of a hexagon is A = a + b / 2(h), where a and b are the base lengths and h is the height. The given values are as follows:
a = 40 b = 60 h = 24
Let's plug them in and solve.
A = a + b / 2(h) A = 40 + 60 / 2(24 A = 100 / 2(24) A = 50(24) A = 1200
Remember we have to double the area of the trapezoid to get the area of the whole hexagon.
