Check the picture below.

so the area of the hexagon is really just the area of two isosceles trapezoids.

$\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=2\\ b=4\\ h=2 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{2(2+4)}{2}\implies A=6 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{twice that much}}{2A = 12} \end{array}$
