Answer: the perimeter of the base of the skylight is 2.4 meters
Explanation:
The perimeter of a shape or figure is the distance around it. The base of the skylight is a regular hexagon with side length 40 cm. It means that it has 6 sides and all the sides are equal.
Therefore, the the perimeter of the base of the skylight would be
40 × 6 = 240 cm
We would convert from cm to meters.
100 cm = 1 m
Therefore, 240 cm would be
240/100 = 2.4 m
