Answer 4

the perimeter is 72. there are six sides in a hexagon. its regular so each side is the same length. confused on anything so far?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

alright cool, so we are dividing the perimeter by how many sides there are in the shape since they are all equal

Answer 7

still with me?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

great. so now we have twelve as the length of each side. but the problem says each side is 3x. so each side is 12 and each side is also 3x. sence they are equal, we can put them into an equation. do you know what that equation would be?

Answer 10

?

Answer 11

3x=12 does that make sense how i got that?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

wait no

Answer 14

each side is equal to 12, we figured that part out.
The question tells us that each side is equal to 3x.
still with me?

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

do you get it now how we got 3x=12

Answer 17

no

Answer 18

3x=eachside
12=eachside
do you agree?

Answer 19

ya

Answer 20
