    The question requires us to calculate the length of the apothem in a regular hexagon:

    N/B: Hexagon is a six-sided figure.

    To get the length of the apothem we proceed as follows;

    The formula for calculating the length of the apothem of any given reqular polygon is given by:

    apothem=s/{2tan (180/n) }

    where s=length of the sides

    n=number of sides;

    For example, of the length of the side of our hexagon is 5 cm, the length of the apothem will be:

    apothem=5/{2tan (180/6) }

    apothem=5/{2tan30}

    apothem=5/{2*0.5774}=4.330 cm

    Using the above formula we can calculate the length of apothem for any regular polygon.
