Electric potential is a scalar, not a vector. The potential at the middle due to one charge is kq/r, and due to six charges, then 6kq/r
The solution then is to find the distance r to the center. Because all the corners are the same distance, consider a circle..
interior angle=360/6=60deg
two sides r, third side x, other two angles 60 deg also, so all sides are x.
potential=6kQ/x
