If the front of the birdhouse is a square with a perimeter of 40 inches, then each side will be 10 inches long.The perimeter, which is the sum of all the sides, is 40 inches. If the four sides are all equal, then each side will be 40 inches divided by 4 or 10 inches in length.
A hexagon has 6 sides, and if each side is 1 meter, we multiply this by the number of sides (6) to get 1 x 6 which is 6. Therefore, the perimeter is 6 meters.
