The sides of a hexagon the hexagon shown are equal in length. The perimeter of the hexagon is at most 42 inches. Find the possible side lengths of the hexagon

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find the possible lengths of each side such that there are 6 sides to a hexagon so the perimeter is 6s. If the perimeter is at most 42 inches, then

6s ≤ 42.......We then divide 6 to both sides such that

s ≤ 7 inches

Therefore, each side must be at most 7 inches in length.

I hope this helped!
