Hey,
So for this problem we need to figure out what we know. So first, we know that the length of each side of the hexagon is equal to all the others. We also know that one of the sides is 29 centimeters. We also know that the perimeter of a shape is the length of all its sides. Lastly, we know that a hexagon has 6 sides. Therefore, we multiply 29 cm by 6 sides:
29cm x 6 = 174 cm. This is the perimeter of the hexagon, the sum of the lengths of the shape.
I hope this helps!
