Understanding Perimeter of a Hexagon

The video tutorial explains how to find the perimeter of a hexagon by adding the lengths of its sides. It starts with a basic definition of perimeter and demonstrates the calculation by summing six equal side lengths. The tutorial also introduces multiplication as an alternative method to calculate the perimeter, emphasizing that multiplying the number of sides by the length of one side yields the same result.

What does the term 'perimeter' refer to in geometry?

• The area of a shape

• The distance around a shape

• The volume of a shape

• The number of sides of a shape

How many sides does a hexagon have?

• Seven

• Four

• Five

• Six

If each side of a hexagon is 24 units long, how do you calculate its perimeter?

• Add 24 four times

• Multiply 24 by 5

• Add 24 six times

• Multiply 24 by 4

What is the sum of the ones place when adding six 24's together?

• 24

• 20

• 22

• 26

What is the sum of the tens place when adding six 24's together?

• 16

• 18

• 14

• 12

What is the total perimeter of a hexagon with each side measuring 24 units?

• 144

• 132

• 156

• 120

How can multiplication simplify the calculation of a hexagon's perimeter?

• By subtracting the length of one side from the total

• By adding the lengths of two sides

• By multiplying the number of sides by the length of one side

• By dividing the total by 6

What multiplication problem represents the perimeter of a hexagon with side length 24?

• 6 times 26

• 6 times 24

• 6 times 22

• 6 times 20
