Question 1
What is the perimeter of a hexagon?
-
Each side measures 10 cm
-
The hexagon is regular.
- Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
- Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but Statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
- Statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are not sufficient.
- BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but neither statement ALONE is sufficient.
- EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Explanation: The perimeter is the sum of the measures of the sidelengths.
Knowing that the hexagon is regular only tells you the six sides are congruent; without the measure of any side, this does not help you.
Knowing only that each of the six sides measures 10 cm is by itself enough to calculate the perimeter to be
.
The answer is that Statement 1 is sufficient, but not Statement 2.
