Example Question #21 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Hexagon

Find the perimeter of the regular hexagon.

Possible Answers:

112

132

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When all the opposite sides of a regular hexagon are connected, you should notice that six congruent equilateral triangles are created:

Thus, the diagonal of the hexagon is twice the length of a side.

$\text{Diagonal}=2(\text{side})$

$\text{Side}=\frac{\text{Diagonal}}{2}$

Plug in the given diagonal to find the length of a side.

$\text{Side}=\frac{22}{2}=11$

Now, recall how to find the perimeter of a regular hexagon:

$\text{Perimeter}=6(\text{side})$

Plug in the side length to find the perimeter.

$\text{Perimeter}=6(11)=66$

Example Question #22 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Hexagon

If the area of a regular hexagon is , what is the perimeter of the hexagon?

Possible Answers:

13.21

14.42

14.33

15.80

Correct answer:

14.42

Explanation:

Recall the formula to find the area of a regular hexagon:

$\text{Area}=\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}(\text{side})^2$

Rearrange the formula to solve for the side.

$(\text{side})^2=\text{Area}(\frac{2}{3\sqrt3})$

$\text{side}=\sqrt{\frac{2(\text{Area})}{3\sqrt3}}$

Now, recall how to find the perimeter of a regular hexagon:

$\text{Perimeter}=6(\text{side})$

Substitute in for the side to solve for the perimeter.

$\text{Perimeter}=6\sqrt{\frac{2(\text{Area})}{3\sqrt3}}$

Plug in the given area and use a calculator to find the perimeter.

$\text{Perimeter}=6\sqrt{\frac{2(15)}{3\sqrt3}}=14.42$

Make sure to round to the two places after the decimal.

Now, recall how to find the perimeter of a regular hexagon:

$\text{Perimeter}=6(\text{side})$

Substitute in for the side to solve for the perimeter.

$\text{Perimeter}=6\sqrt{\frac{2(\text{Area})}{3\sqrt3}}$

Plug in the given area and use a calculator to find the perimeter.

$\text{Perimeter}=6\sqrt{\frac{2(15\sqrt3)}{3\sqrt3}}=18.97$

Make sure to round to the two places after the decimal.
