Question

What is the perimeter of the smaller hexagon

Answer 1

Since a hexagon has 6 sides multiply 5 by 6 to find the perimeter.

5*6=30

Answer 2

P₁ = 30 cm.

Explanation:

Note that in the larger hexagon, one side is 8 cm, and the whole perimeter is 48 cm. This means that this is a regular hexagon (as there are 6 sides, and 48/6 = 8)

Since these figures are similar, they have ratios.

5 x 6 = 30

P₁ = 30 cm.
