Bob needs to cut a piece of glass for her table. The table is in the shape of a regular hexagon. The glass measure 1 1/2 feet on each side. What is the perimeter of the piece of glass?
6 * 1 1/2 = 9 feet
To find the perimeter of the glass, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides. Since the table is in the shape of a regular hexagon, it means that all the sides are equal in length.
Given that each side measures 1 1/2 feet, we can calculate the perimeter by multiplying the length of one side by the number of sides in a hexagon, which is 6.
1 1/2 feet can be represented as 3/2 feet. So, the perimeter is:
Perimeter = (Length of one side) x (Number of sides)
= (3/2 feet) x 6
= 9 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the glass piece is 9 feet.
