Question

A piece of wire is 96cm long. What will be the length of each side,
if the wire is bent to form a regular hexagon?
a. 16 cm
b. 6 cm
c. 24 cm
d. 14 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

96÷ all 6 sides of hexagon

96/6=16

answer = 16

Answer 2

Given: A piece of wire is 96cm.

⠀

Need to find: What will be the length of each side?

⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

⠀

❒ Let us consider that, the length of each required side be 'a'.

⠀

◗ Let's Head to the Question now:

⠀

$\underline{ \bf{\dag} \frak{ \: As \: we \: know \: that \: :}}$

⠀

• Perimeter of hexagon = Length of wire.

⠀

We know that, if we are given with the perimeter of hexagon, we have the required formula, that is,

⠀

$:\implies \textsf{Perimeter of hexagon = 6a}$

⠀

Substituting all the given values in the formula, we get :

⠀

$\sf{:\implies \quad 96 = 6 \times a} \\ \\ \\ \sf{:\implies \quad 96 = 6a} \\ \\ \\ \sf{:\implies \quad 6a = 96} \\ \\ \\ \sf{:\implies \quad a = \cancel{\frac{96}{6} }} \\ \\ \\ \sf{:\implies \quad \boxed{ \frak{ \pink{a = 16}}}}$

⠀

$\sf{\therefore{\underline{The \: length \: of \: each \: required \: side \: is \: \textsf{\textbf{16 cm.}}}}}$
