Question

Chinese checkers is a game in which players move their pieces across a board using single moves or jumps like the traditional game of checkers. Use the Chinese checker board to answer the questions.

(a) What polygon describes the shape of the board?
(b) Find the measures of angles 1 through 7.
(c) The perimeter of the board is 39 in. What is the length of 1 side of the board?

Answer 1

A. it is a hexagon (there are 6 sides) B. using the equation (n-2)180 (where n is the number of sides we get (6-2)180=4*180=720. divide 720 by 6 to get 120 for each angle of the hexagon. (it has no irregularities in it's shape so that number will be correct for them all.) C. to get that just divide 39 by 6 to get 6.5 in per side. Hope that helps:)
