Question

The length of a wire is $72m$. Find the length of each side if the wire is used to form a regular hexagon.

Answer 1

Length of each side a regular hexagon

Given, length of a wire to form a regular hexagon$=$ $72m$

∴ Perimeter of a regular hexagon$=$ $72m$

$\begin{array}{rcl}6\times side& =& 72m\\ side& =& \frac{72}{6}m\\ side& =& 12m\end{array}$

Therefore, length of each side a regular hexagon is $12m$.
