You can put this solution on YOUR website! consider a square and a regular hexagon(a six sided figure with sides of equal length). One side of the square is 20 feet longer than a side of the hexagon and the figures have the same perimeter. What are the lengths of the sides of each figure?
---------
s = side of the square
h = side of the hexagon
------
4s = 6h
s = h + 20
----
4(h+20) = 6h
h = 40
s = 60
