EXAMPLE 3 Find side lengths ALGEBRA A table is shaped like a regular hexagon. The expressions shown represent side lengths of the on: hexagonal table. Find the length of a side. (3x + 6) in. Solution (4x- 2) in. First, write and solve an equation to find the value of x. Use the fact that the sides of a regular hexagon are congruent. 3x + 6 = 4x – 2 Write equation. 6 = x- 2 Subtract 3x from each side. 8 - x Add 2 to each side. Then find a side length. Evaluate one of the expressions when x 8. 3.x + 6 = 3(8) + 6 = 30 • The length of a side of the table is 30 inches.

EXAMPLE 3
Find side lengths
READ VOCABULARY
.............. ..
Hexagonal means
"shaped like a hexagon."
xy ALGEBRA A table is shaped like a regular hexagon.
The expressions shown represent side lengths of the
hexagonal table. Find the length of a side.
(3x + 6) in.
Solution
(4х — 2) in
First, write and solve an equation to find
the value of x. Use the fact that the sides
of a regular hexagon are congruent.
3x + 6 = 4x – 2
Write equation.
6 = x – 2
Subtract 3x from each side.
8 = x
Add 2 to each side.
Then find a side length. Evaluate one of the expressions when x = 8.
3x + 6 = 3(8) + 6 = 30
• The length of a side of the table is 30 inches.
GUIDED PRACTICE

3. The expressions 8y° and (9y – 15)° represent the measures of two of the
angles in the table in Example 3. Find the measure of an angle.
