HELP PLEASE. I AM GETTING ANGRY. The formula P = ns gives the formula for the perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides and side length s. A regular hexagon has 6 equal sides. What is the perimeter of a regular hexagon with side length 2.8 cm?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

How many sides is a hexagon?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

^^start out with that

OpenStudy (ccswims):

So far we know that it is P= n * 2.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm..okay?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Hexagon is a 6 sided figure correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Plug it in making your equation P = 6 * 2.8

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Now just do the multiplication and theres your answer

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 16.8??? Yeah I'm wrong.

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 16.8 is the answer?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes she is right
