Question

Two regular hexagons of perimeter 30 cm each are joined as shown in below figure. Find the perimeter of the new figure

Answer 1

Answer:-

Given:-

• Two regular hexagons of perimeter = 30 cm

To find:-

• The perimeter of a new figure

Mate firstly we have to know what is perimeter:-

• Addition of all sides of given figure is called " perimeter".

Solution:-

There are 11 equal sides in given figure

Perimeter of hexagon = 6 × sides

(Here, perimeter of hexagon = 30 cm )

⇒30 cm = 6 × side

⇒Side = 30/6 cm = 5 cm

∴length of side = 5 cm

Then, perimeter of given figure is

⇒11 × length of side

⇒11 × 5cm

⇒55 cm

Therefore, the perimeter of the new figure is " 55 cm "
