Question.  6

If the perimeter of a regular hexagon is x metres, then the length of each of its sides is

(A)

(x + 6) metres

(B)

(x ÷ 6) metres

(C)

(x – 6) metres

(D)

(6 ÷ x) metres

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

  1. A regular hexagon has 6 sides, and all sides are equal.
  2. Let the length of each side be ( s ) metres.
  3. Perimeter = sum of all sides = ( 6 imes s ).
  4. Given: Perimeter ( = x ) metres.
  5. So, ( 6 imes s = x ).
  6. Divide both sides by 6: ( s = dfrac{x}{6} ).

Therefore, each side = ( dfrac{x}{6} ) metres. So the correct option is B (x ÷ 6) metres.
