The sides of a regular hexagon are equal in length. the perimeter of the hexagon is at most 36 inches. find the possible sides of the hexagon. let the lengths of the sides be x. show work an use < ,> , or the ones with the line under it tysm!

Ok but uh what do you need with?

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
