You can calculate polygon area with only apothem OR side length.

apothem only
area = apothem^2 * 6 * tan (180/6)
area = 10.4^2 * 6 * 0.57735
area = 108.16 * 3.4641 
area = 374.677056 square yards

side length only
area = 6 * 12^2 * / 4*tan(30)
area = 864 / 4 * 0.57735
area = 864 / 2.3094 
area = 374.1231488698 square yards

If apothem and side length were given with more precision, the answers would be closer.

Fine the area of the shaped trapezium in the rectangle below

Ksenya-84 [330]

At first find the area of rectangle:
(x + 4)*(x + 1) = x^2 + 5x + 4
Then find the area of triangle:
$\frac{(x+1)(x-3)}{2} = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{2}$
Then you must do like this
Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = Area of the shaded
x^2+5x+4 - ( $\frac{x^2-2x-3}{2}$ )
