The perimeter is each of the lengths added together. A hexagon has each of its sides equal. This means you can have the shortcut of multiplying length by 6.
There is nothing in the question that allows you to assume that the hexagon is regular and so there is are no simple formulae. You will need to divide up the hexagon into simpler shapes. For example, pick any point inside the hexagon and join it to all the vertices. You will get six triangles. Calculate the area of each triangle and then and these areas together. Similarly, measure each side of the hexagon and add them together to get the perimeter.
The perimeter of a regular hexagon is (6 x the length of one side).
Perimeter of regular 6 sided hexagon: 6*7 = 42 inches
Side length x 6 = perimeter
Since a regular hexagon has six equal sides, you can find the length of each side by dividing the perimeter by 6. In this case, if the perimeter is 54 mm, then each side would be 9 mm.
Each side is 8 inches.

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 hexagon has six sides, and if it is regular then all the sides are the same length (in this case, 6cm). The perimeter is the total distance around the shape, so if each side if 6cm and there are six sides, then the perimeter will be 6x6cm, or 36cm.
If each side is 12 cm then its perimeter is 6 times 12 = 72 cm
