as you recall, the area of a regular polygon is 1/2 the product of the apothem and the perimeter.
That help?
How about this: one side of a hexagon is 1/6 the perimeter.
How can I find the surface area and volume of a hexagonal prism if I don't know the height, only apothem and one side of the base?
Thank you!

Apothem=6sqrt3
side=12
SA=2B+ph
SA=748.25+72h
is that correct?
i just don't understand how to figure out the height..

well, you do have a problem. Unless they give you the height of the prism, you're stuck.
It's like asking for the area of a rectangle if they only give you the length.
The prism is a 3D figure, and they have only given you the information on the base.
