what is the area of a polygram that is 42 cm in perimeter? the shape is a rectangle and it has 6 sides.

1 answer

The shape you described, a rectangle with 6 sides, is not a polygon. A rectangle specifically has 4 sides.

A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides. The sum of the lengths of its sides is known as the perimeter of the polygon. For a polygon with 6 sides, it is called a hexagon.

To find the area of a hexagon, we need more information than just the perimeter. The length of each side or the measure of an interior angle would be required.

Please provide additional information so that we can calculate the area of your shape accurately.
