What is the sidelength, in feet and inches, of a regular hexagon with perimeter 16 feet?
What is the sidelength, in feet and inches, of a regular hexagon with perimeter 16 feet?
Divide the perimeter 16 feet by 6 to get the sidelength of the hexagon in feet:
Two-thirds of a foot is equal to eight inches, so this sidelength is 2 feet 8 inches.
Divide the perimeter 16 feet by 6 to get the sidelength of the hexagon in feet:
