[fossil cipher]

Well, how many sides does a regular hexagon have?

[shy karma]

6

[fossil cipher]

and how do you find the perimeter

[shy karma]

add up all the sides?

[fossil cipher]

yes

[shy karma]

so 6(20qr + 24q) ?

[fossil cipher]

Yes, but you have to "fully factorise" it

[shy karma]

ok thank you!

[fossil cipher]

np

[shy karma]

i still don’t understand

[fossil cipher]

P = 6A = 120qr + 148q

so P = 120qr + 148q

you can see q is common in both

so P = q(120r+148)

and then you need to look at what the HCF of 120 and 148 is to fully factor out

[shy karma]

is it 4

[fossil cipher]

okay so factor the 4 out of q(120r+148)

[shy karma]

30+ 37

i don’t have those options to choose from as my final answer

[fossil cipher]

well, it wouldn't be 30+37

it would be P = 4q(30r+37)

[shy karma]

those numbers still aren’t an option

[fossil cipher]

oh oops, would be as simple as 24q(5r+6)
