Question

Find a rule for the perimeter of regular hexagon whose each side measures y cm

Answer 1

Answer:

6y cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hexagon is a six-sided polygon with a total internal angle of 720 degrees

The perimeter of any geometric polygon is the total length of the outline of the shape.

i.e., it is the sum of lengths of each side of the polygon

Since a hexagon is six-sided, and given that each side of the hexagon is y cm,

∴ the perimeter of the hexagon under the given condition becomes,

y + y + y + y + y + y = 6y cm

Answer 2

perimeter is the path or length surrounded by two two dimensional shape.

perimeter of triangle = sum of length of all sides of triangle
perimeter of quadrilateral = sum of length of all sides of square

similarly, perimeter of regular hexagon = sum of length of all sides of regular hexagon.

we know, a regular hexagon have six sides of equal length.

so, perimeter of regular hexagon = y + y + y + y + y + y = 6y cm

hence, perimeter of regular hexagon = 6y cm
