Question. 36

Base of a tent is a regular hexagon of perimeter 60 cm. What is the length of each side of the base?

Answer:

Length of each side = 10 cm

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation (very simple):

  1. A regular hexagon has 6 sides and all sides are equal.

  2. Perimeter means the total length around the shape (sum of all sides).

  3. Given:

    Perimeter (= 60 ext{ cm})

    Number of sides (= 6)

  4. Length of one side (=) Perimeter ÷ Number of sides

    (= dfrac{60}{6})

    (= 10 ext{ cm})

  5. Quick check: (10 imes 6 = 60 ext{cm}) ✔️ (matches the perimeter)

Therefore, each side = 10 cm.
