Question

Two regular Hexagons of perimeter 30cm each are joined as shown in Fig. The perimeter of the new figure is

(A) 65cm (B) 60cm (C) 55cm (D) 50cm

Answer 1

(D) 50cm

From the question it is given that, perimeter of each hexagon = 30 cm

We know hat, hexagon has 6 sides.

So, length of each side of hexagon = 30/6

= 5 cm

Now, consider two hexagons are joined together.

Then, perimeter of new figure = number of side × length of each side

= 10 × 6

= 50 cm
