Question

The perimeter of a regular hexagon (All sides are equal) is 24x +48. Write an expression to represent the length of one side.

Answer 1

4x+8

Explanation:

Find the number of sides in a hexagon, which is 6. Take the expression that represents the perimeter of the hexagon, 24x+48, and divide it by 6. The easier way to do this is to multiply this expression by 1/6. Which looks like so, 1/6(24x+48). Which gives you the answer 4x+8.
