Two regular Hexagons of perimeter 30cm each are joined as shown in Fig. 6.7. The perimeter of the new figure is
(A) 65cm
(B) 60cm
(C) 55cm
(D) 50cm
Perimeter of a regular hexagon = 6 × side of hexagon
Side of hexagon will be : 30 cm = 6 × side
∴ Each side of a regular hexagon = 5 cm
∴ The perimeter of the new figure = 10 × side = 10 × 5 cm = 50 cm
Hence option (D) is correct.
