A "regular hexagon" means that all 6 sides are the same length.
Therefore the perimeter is 6s, where s is the side length.
6(9) = 54 cm.

Well since it is a regular hexagon, the sides will be equal to eachother. So, if one side is 9 cm., and a hexagon is 6 sides, you would multiply 6 and 9 to get 54 cm, the perimeter of the hexagon. I'm pretty sure this is right... hope this helps.

Perimeter is the total length around the figure. Since there are six sides in a regular hexagon, you multiply 6x9cm.

a hexagon has 6 sides and each side is 9
multiply it by 6
6 times 9 = 54 cm

P=s(6)
P=9(6)
P=54 cm

9*6 = 54 p=side*6. hexagon means having six sides. so therfore, you must multiply one side by 6.
