Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the measure of each interior angle in a regular hexagon.
[2 marks]2.
Find the sum of the interior angles of an irregular hexagon when five angles measure 130°, 125°, 128°, 132°, and 127°.
[2 marks]3.
Construct a regular hexagon with a side length of 5 cm. Use your grid to draw the construction accurately.
[3 marks]4.
Calculate the perimeter of a regular hexagon with each side measuring 8 cm.
[2 marks]5.
Determine the area of a regular hexagon with a side length of 6 cm. Use the formula: Area = (3√3/2) × side².
[3 marks]6.
A hexagon has one interior angle of 130°. What is the measure of its exterior angle at that vertex?
[2 marks]7.
A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle with radius 10 cm. Calculate the length of each side of the hexagon.
[3 marks]8.
In a real-world scenario, a garden is shaped like a regular hexagon with a side of 4 meters. Calculate the total length of fencing needed to enclose it.
[3 marks]9.
A hexagon's interior angles are all equal except for one which measures 125°. The other five each measure 118°. Is this a regular hexagon? Justify your answer.
[3 marks]10.
Calculate the missing interior angle of a hexagon if the sum of its interior angles is 720°. Two of the angles are 119° and 122°. What are the other three angles, assuming the hexagon is irregular?
[4 marks]11.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following statement: 'All hexagons have interior angles of 120° because they are regular.'
