3. A wire of length 60 cm is cut into two pieces. One piece is used to form a retende of length 10 cm and width 8 cm. The other piece is bent into the shape of hexagon. What is the length of each side of hexagon?
naveenauday
Total length of the wire=60cm Rectangular shape perimeter=2(10+8)=36cm So length of piece = 36cm Length of the other piece=60-36=24cm The other piece is bent into hexagon So the length of each side of hexagon =x Total perimeter of hexagon =6x=24cm =x=24/6=4cm Length of each side of hexagon=4cm

Answer:
6.25Cm
Step-by-step explanation:
60-10=50
50÷8=6.25
Rectangular shape perimeter=2(10+8)=36cm
So length of piece = 36cm
Length of the other piece=60-36=24cm
The other piece is bent into hexagon
So the length of each side of hexagon =x
Total perimeter of hexagon =6x=24cm
=x=24/6=4cm
Length of each side of hexagon=4cm
