Question #N257

A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle with a radius of 6. What is the perimeter of the hexagon?
A. 18
B. 24
C. 36
D. 48

Correct Answer is: C

A regular hexagon can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles. The side length of each equilateral triangle is equal to the radius of the circle, which is 6. Therefore, the perimeter of the hexagon is 6 times the side length of the equilateral triangle, or 6 * 6 = 36.
