Q) The regular hexagon below has a perimeter of 42 cm. What is the length of one side of the hexagon?
Answer:-Here, we have to keep that mind that it is given "regular hexagon" where regular means same length and hexagon is a 6-sided polygon, so it initially means a 6-sided polygon having each side of same exactly same length and also It is given that the the regular hexagon has a perimeter of 42 cm.
We know that perimeter of a regular hexagon=sum of all its sides or 6×side
So, P=6×side
42=6×side
42/6=side
7=side
So, the length of one side of hexagon is 7 cm
