Question 11(c)

A piece of string is 30 cm long. What will be the length of each side if the string is used to form a regular hexagon?

Answer 1

The string is bent in the form of a regular hexagon.


Given: Length of string = 30 cm

The perimeter of regular hexagon = Length of the string.

Perimeter of regular hexagon = 30 cm.

$\Rightarrow 6\times$ Length of side = 30 cm.

$\Rightarrow$Length of side = $\frac{30}{6}$= 5 cm.

Thus, the length of each side of the regular hexagon is 5 cm.
