Question 1

What is the perimeter of a hexagon?

  1. Each side measures 10 cm

  2. The hexagon is regular.

  1. Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
  2. Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
  3. Statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are not sufficient.
