A playhouse is in the shape of a regular hexagon. If each side of the playhouse is five feet long what is the perimeter of the playhouse?

Regular Hexagons are interesting because they have 6 sides to them, and all sides are the same length. That means, if you know the length of one side, then you know the length of all the other sides. The perimeter is the distance around your shape (picture how far you would have to walk if you went all the way around the playhouse). In your question, you are told that all sides are 5 feet long. Since you have 6 sides, you can either add them all up to find the perimeter (because you have to walk past all 6 sides), or you can multiply the length you have been given by 6. Adding: 5+5+5+5+5+5 = 30 feet Multiplying 5*6=30 feet

A regular polygon has 6 axes of symmetryWhat is this shape?
it's a hexagon
What is a 6 sided polygon other than a hexagon?
A hexagon IS a six sided polygon. A REGULAR hexagon is the shape we tend to think of when we say hexagon because it has equal sides and equal internal angles. However, a hexagon can have unequal sides and internal angles and still be a hexagon. A hexagon is just a shape with six sides.
What is the difference of regular and irregular shapes?
The difference between an irregular and regular is that a regular shape is the normal form of a hexagon or pentagon etc. A regular hexagon would have six sides all the same length and all the angles would be the same. An irregular shape is a shape in a different form of the normal form. Example, A irregular hexagon would still have six sides but the lengths may be different and the angles also may be different.
Is a hexagon a rigid shape?
No
If a shape isa regular hexagon with six sides what must be true?
All of the angles must also be the same
How would you write a formula for the perimeter of a regular hexagon using the length of a side?
A regular hexagon is a shape that has 6 equal sides. x = length of a side 6x = perimeter of hexagon pond
What shape has 6 sides and equals 18?
A regular hexagon that has a perimeter of 18 units of measurement
If the side of a regular hexagon is 6 centimeters what is it's perimeter?
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.
A regular hexagon and a regular octagon share a common side If the perimeter of the hexagon is 24 cm what is the perimeter of the octagon?
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.
Is a hexagon a regular shape?
A hexagon is a six-sided polygon that can be a regular or an irregular shape.
What does hexagon means and examples of shape and how to find the perimeter of them?
Hexagons are six-sided figures like a bee's honeycomb cells. The perimeter of a regular hexagon will be found by multiplying the length of one side by 6.
Is a hexagon an equilateral shape?
Only when it is a regular 6 sided hexagon
Why is a hexagon called regular?
A hexagon is any shape with 6 sides. A regular hexagon is a six sided shape where all sides and angles are equal to one another. An IRRegular hexagon tends to look messy or ugly whilst a REgular hexagon tends to look symmetrical and 'perfect'.
2d shape with 6 equal sides?
A shape with six sides is a hexagon. A hexagon with all sides and angles equal is a regular hexagon.
What is the length of 1 side of a regular hexagon if its permeter is 24cm?
A regular hexagon is a shape with 6 equal side so to find the length of one side you would take the perimeter, which is 24, and divide it by 6. 24/6 = 4. The length of 1 side is 4cm.
Is hexagon a irregular shape?
A 6 sided hexagon can be a regular or an irregular shaped polygon
What is a six sided regular shape called?
hexagon
