Question

The perimeters of a square, an equilateral triangle and a hexagon are the same. Find the length of each side of the figures if the perimeter is 60 m. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that ;

Perimeter of the Square = 60m

Perimeter of An Equilateral Triangle = 60 m

Perimeter of the Hexagon = 60 m

Length of each side = ?

• Square

Perimeter of the Square ( P ) = 60m

Length of the side ( s ) = ?

Formula :

Perimeter of the Square = 4s

4s = 60

s = 60 / 4

s = 15

Hence ;

Length of the Side of the Square ( s ) = 15m

• An Equilateral Triangle

Perimeter of an Equilateral Triangle ( P ) = 60m

Formula :

Perimeter of an Equilateral Triangle = 3s

3s = 60

s = 60 / 3

s = 20

Hence ;

Length of Side of an Equilateral Triangle = 20m

• Hexagon

Perimeter of Hexagon = 60m

Formula :

Perimeter of the Hexagon ( P ) = 6s

6s = 60

s = 60 / 6

s = 10

Length of the Hexagon = 10m
