Question 915722: Consider a square and a regular hexagon (a six-sided figure with sides of equal length). One side of the square is 2 feet longer than a side of the hexagon, and the two figures have the same perimeter. What are the lengths of the sides of each figure? Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x, side length of square
y, side length of the hexagon
x=2+y described as given (one side of square is 2 feet longer than a side of the hexagon)
, perimeters are equal, described as given. -----length of one side of the hexagon
