Question

Figure FGHIJK is a regular hexagon. Segment FK is located at F (1, 2) and K (4,2). What is the perimeter of FGHIJK?

14 units
16 units
18 units
20 units

Answer 1

18 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

A regular hexagon has all sides of the same length, and a hexagon is a shape with six sides.

This means, if we can find the length of one side, we can find the perimeter of the entire hexagon by multiplying it by 6.

Segment FK is one side of the hexagon with endpoints at (1,2) and (4,2). From this, we can see that the length of segment FK is (4-1), or 3 units long. That means, the perimeter of the hexagon is 3 times 6, or 18 units long.
