Solution

The correct option is B $x \div 6$
Option (b).

A hexagon with all six sides equal in length is called as a regular hexagon.

Given, perimeter of the regular hexagon = $x$ metres.

Number of sides in a hexagon = $6$

$∴$ The length of each side $= \frac{P e r i m e t e r o f r e g u l a r h e x a g o n}{N u m b e r o f s i d e s i n h e x a g o n}$

= ( $x \div 6$ ) metres
