Mathematics Knowledge Answer

In teaching my ASVAB prep course, I decided to write books to accompany my online courses.  To support my instruction of Mathematics Knoweldge, I wrote a book entitled, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide.  The majority of topics in Mathematics Knowledge are either algebra or geometry.

Yesterday I presented a Mathematics Knowledge question.

This question is a geometry question that is about a hexagon.

The question is:

What is the perimeter of a hexagon if the length of each side is 5?

  1. 25
  2. 30
  3. 35
  4. 40

Do you know how many sides a hexagon has?  A hexagon has 6 sides.

If each side of a hexagon has a length of 5, and there are 6 sides, the perimeter is 6 x 5 = 30.

The perimeter is choice B. 30.
