Question

one side of a hexagon has a length of 8.75cm. All the other sides of the hexagon are the same length as each other. The perimeter of the hexagon is 42.75cm. What is the length,in centimeteres, of each side of the hexagon

Answer 1

6.8cm

Explanation:

A hexagon has 6 sides

If one side is 8.75cm, let one of the other equal side = x

The 5 equal sides = 5x

Therefore 8.75 + 5x = 42.75

5x = 42.75 - 8.75 = 34

x = 34/5 = 6.8cm

The length of each of the other side of the hexagon = 6.8cm
