Question

7) A table is in the shape of a regularhexagon. The perimeter of the table is 12feet. What is the length of each side ofthe table?A 1 ftB2 ftC 3 ftD 4 ft

Answer 1

If the table is a regular hexagon, and the perimeter= 12.

Then, we know that a hexagon has 6 sides, and the perimeter is the sum of all sides. So:

`\begin{gathered} Perimeter=\text{ 6x} \\ 12=\text{ 6x} \\ (12)/(6)=x \\ 2=x \end{gathered}`

The answer is B. 2 ft.
