If the perimeter of the hexagon is 24 cm and it is regular, then each side has the same length, namely 24/6 or 4.

Now that is also the length of each side of the octagon since they share a common side so its perimeter is 8x4=32 cm.

A rectangle and a regular octagon share a common side If the length of the rectangle is twice its width and the perimeter is 36 cm what is the perimeter of the octagon?

Length + width = 18 cm so length = 12 cm and width = 6 cm. Presumably the length is the common side so the perimeter of the octagon is 8 x 12 = 96 cm. If the width is the common side then the perimeter of the octagon is 8 x 6 = 48 cm

What do a rhombus and a hexagon have in common?

A rhombus and a hexagon are both polygons, meaning they are closed shapes with straight sides. They also both have equal interior angles - a rhombus has four equal angles, while a regular hexagon has six equal angles. Additionally, both shapes have lines of symmetry - a rhombus has two lines of symmetry, and a regular hexagon has six lines of symmetry.

Why are hexagons so common in nature?

It's one of the only shapes which tessellates perfectly (think tiles, if you tiled a wall with hexagons then there wouldn't be any gaps. Of the shapes which tessellate perfectly (triangle, square, hexagon) it has the smallest perimeter for its area i.e. a square of area 10cm^2 has a greater perimeter than that of a hexagon with an area of 10cm^2. So, if you were a bee trying to make a honeycomb then the hexagon is best because it would use least wax to make a certain area of comb (because of the perimeter/area ratio) and also not waste any space (because it tessellates without leaving any gaps). Hope that helps.


How many sides does a hexago have?

The prefix -hex means "six". Therefore, a hexagon has six sides. A regular hexagon is made up of equal sides and equal angles and is the most common. Many irregular hexagons exist and their criteria are dependent on the form they take.


What does a pentagon and hexagon have in common?

Both are polygons
