Question 326768
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


998 of the hexagons have 4 sides on the exterior of the figure and 2 of the hexagons have 5 sides on the exterior of the figure.


So the total number of exposed sides is *[tex \LARGE (998\ \times\ 4)\ +\ (2\ \times\ 5)].  Since each of the sides has a measure of 1 unit, the number of sides is equal to the perimeter.
