A gazebo is being built in the shape of a regular hexagon. One side of the hexagon measures 5 ft. How much wood must be purchased for the chair railing that will surround the gazebo?

This question is open ended and doesn't have the necessary information.

hexa means 6, so I would assume 6x5 = 30 ft, but then you want to have a side open for a 'door', so subtracting 5 would make the answer 25ft.
