6. a catalog sells two different shaped tablecloths. one is a square with sides
that are 12 feet long. the other is a regular hexagon with the same perimeter
as the square. how long is each side of the regular hexagon tablecloth?
(1 point)
a. 2 ft
b. 4 ft
c. 8 ft
d. 96 ft

Square has 4 sides that are each 12 feet long, therefore the total perimeter of the square is 48. (12+12+12+12 or 12x4)

Hexagon has 6 sides. If each side is equal to another, the total perimeter of the square must equal the total perimeter of the hexagon. 

Perimeter = 48. Hexagon with 6 sides, therefore you divide 48/6 to find the length of each side. In this case, 48/6 = 8. 

So, each side of the hexagon tablecloth is 8 feet long.
