Question

A piece of wire is 60 cm in length. Find the length of each side if the wire is used to form
a square
an equilateral triangle
b.
a hexagon​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 15 cm

b. 20 cm

c. 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Perimeter of a square = 4×side

4×side=60cm

Side = 15cm

So, the length of each side of the square would be 15cm.

b.Perimeter of a equilateral triangle = 3×side

3×side=60cm

Side = 20cm

So, the length of each side of the square would be 20cm.

c. Perimeter of a square = 6×side

6×side=60cm

Side = 10cm

So, the length of each side of the square would be 10cm.

Answer 2

Each side of square: 15

Each of equilateral: 20

Each side of hexagon: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of wire = 60 cm

Perimeter of square = 4×side

Therefore, perimeter of square = 4×side= 60

= 60÷4 = 15

Hence, each side of square = 15cm

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle= 3×side

Therefore, perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3×side= 60

= 60÷3 = 20

Hence, each side of equilateral triangle = 20cm

Perimeter of hexagon = 6×side

Therefore, perimeter of hexagon = 6×side= 60

=60÷6 = 10

Hence, each side of hexagon = 10cm
