Question

i am trying to put a fence around a garden that is in the shape of a regular hexagon. i know that the side of the garden is 6ft but i want walking room around the garden, so i will need extra fence. Each side of the fence will be 2 ft.longer than the side of the garden how many feet of fencing would i need in order to completely surround my garden

Answer 1

There are 6 sides to a hexagon  and each side of the fence  will be 6+2 = 8 feet

So you'll need 8*6  = 48 feet of fencing.
