Detailed Solution

Concept: We should be aware that the perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of all of its sides. Additionally, we should be aware that a regular polygon has equal sides on all sides. We are aware that a hexagon is a six-sided polygon. All six sides of a regular hexagon will be equal. Assume that x is equal to the length of a hexagonal side. The length of the hexagon's sides will then be determined to be x m. The perimeter of the hexagon whose side is equal to x must now be determined. Using this equation as an example Question Image. The value of x must now be changed to equal to 8 to find the perimeter of the hexagon.
Before attempting to answer the question, it is important to understand that a polygon's perimeter is equal to the total of all of its sides. Additionally, we should be aware that a regular polygon has equal sides on all sides.
We are aware that a hexagon is a six-sided polygon. All six sides of a regular hexagon will be equal. Assume that x is equal to the length of a hexagonal side. The length of the hexagon's sides will then be determined to be x m.
   Question ImageAssume that p is equal to the hexagon's perimeter.
It is evident from the diagram up above that
Question ImageThe perimeter of the hexagon is equal to 6x, as is evident from equation Question Image, if the length of a hexagonal side is equal to x.
The answer was implied by the question, which stated that a hexagon's side length is 8 meters.
The hexagon's perimeter must now be determined.
Therefore, we must change Question Image in equation Question Image.
Question ImageIt is evident from equation Question Image that a regular hexagon with sides that are each 8 meters long has a perimeter of Question Image.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
