Base of a tent is a regular hexagon of perimeter 60 cm. What is the length of each side of the base?
Length of each side = 10 cm
Step-by-step explanation (very simple):
A regular hexagon has 6 sides and all sides are equal.
Perimeter means the total length around the shape (sum of all sides).
Given:
Perimeter (= 60 ext{ cm})
Number of sides (= 6)
Length of one side (=) Perimeter ÷ Number of sides
(= dfrac{60}{6})
(= 10 ext{ cm})
Quick check: (10 imes 6 = 60 ext{cm}) ✔️ (matches the perimeter)
Therefore, each side = 10 cm.
