Question A piece of string is 36 cm long. What will be the length of each side, if it is used to form:
(a) A square,
(b) A triangle with all sides of equal length, and
(c) A hexagon (a six sided closed figure) with sides of equal length?
Length of piece of string = 36 cm
(a) Length of side of a square = \(\frac{36}{4}\) cm = 9 cm
(b) Length of side of a triangle when all sides are equal = \(\frac{36}{3}\)cm = 12 cm
(c) Length of a side of a hexagon when all sides are equal
= \(\frac{36}{6}\)cm = 6 cm
