Question

What is the perimeter of a regular hexagon if each side is 6 inches long?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the regular hexagon `=36` inches.

Explanation:

A regular hexagon has six sides of equal length each.

Let the side be denoted as `color(blue)(a` .

The perimeter `=a + a + a + a + a +a +a = color(blue)(6a`

The side of the hexagon: `color(green)(a = 6` inches.

`6 a = 6 xx color(green)(6) = 36` inches.
