Question

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

Answer 1

Given

The length of a string $=30cm$

$\because$The perimeter of a regular hexagon $=$length of the string

$=30cm$

We know that,

The perimeter of a regular hexagon $=6\times$Side

$\Rightarrow$$6\times$Side $=30cm$

$\Rightarrow$ Side$=\frac{30}{6}cm$

$\Rightarrow$Side $=5cm$

Hence, the Side of a regular hexagon$=5cm$
