The perimeter \( p \) of a regular hexagon varies directly with the length \( l \) of one side of the hexagon.

1. What is an equation that relates \( p \) and \( l \)?
2. What is the graph of the equation?

Asked by sammyz0911

Answer (2)

A hexagon has 6 sides, so the perimeter can be calculated as 6 x l . In other words:
P = 6 l
I have attached what the graph to this will look like (looks like the graph y = 6x)

The perimeter of a regular hexagon can be expressed with the equation p = 6 l , where l is the length of one side. The graph of this equation will be a straight line starting from the origin with a slope of 6, indicating a direct variation between the perimeter and the side length.
