Hexagon Perimeter Formula

Given the side length of a hexagon the total perimeter will be six times the side length.

P = 6 * a

Hexagon Perimeter Variables

A hexagon is a two-dimensional shape with six even sides. The length of one side is required to find the perimeter.

Side (a)
Length of one side of the hexagon.
Perimeter (P)
Total perimeter of the hexagon.

Hexagon Perimeter Solution

What is the perimeter of a hexagon given a side length of 6?

  • p = 6 * a
  • Substitute in the known values
  • p = 6 * 6
  • Find the perimeter given a side length (a) of 6
  • p = 36
  • Multiply the side length, six, by the total number of sides, six for a hexagon
  • 36

A hexagon with a side of 6 units will have a perimeter of 36 units.

Hexagon Perimeter Example

If a hexagon has a side of 12 inches what is the perimeter?

  • p = 6 * a
  • p = 6 * 12
  • p = 72
  • 72

A hexagon with a side length of 12 inches has a perimeter of 72 inches, which we can also say is 6 feet using the inches to feet converter.
