Emily has three regular hexagons like the one below.

Each side is 5cm long.

She joins them to make a new shape.

What is the perimeter of her new shape?

70 cmThe answer may be found by counting round each line of the

shape in 5cm blocks.

OR

Each hexagon has a perimeter of 30cm. This makes 90 cm altogether. When they are joined 10cm of perimeter is hidden.

They are joined twice,

90cm - 20cm = 70cm.
