72 feet

Explanation:

• The deck has 6 Sides
• Each side of the deck is 12 feet long

This is an example of a regular hexagon. A hexagon is a polygon that has 6 sides. It is regular because all the sides are equal.

Perimeter of a Regular Hexagon=6l

Length of one side, l=12 feet

Therefore:

Perimeter of the deck = 6 X 12 =72 feet
