the figure represents a building in the shap of a regular hexagon. using th e scale 1cm=177m, what is the perimeter of the building 1.1cm?
To find the perimeter of the building, you need to determine the length of one side of the hexagon and then multiply it by 6 since a regular hexagon has 6 equal sides.
The scale provided states that 1cm represents 177m.
To determine the length of one side of the hexagon, divide 1.1cm by 1cm to remove the scale factor:
1.1cm ÷ 1cm = 1.1
Now, multiply this result by the scale factor of 177m:
1.1 × 177m = 194.7m
So, the length of each side of the hexagon is 194.7m.
To find the perimeter, multiply the length of one side by 6:
194.7m × 6 = 1168.2m
Therefore, the perimeter of the building is 1168.2m.
