Perimeter of hexagon is = 6x

Now, as per the right angled triangle OHE, ^{x^2}=\ \left(\frac{^{ }x}{2}\right)^{2^{ }}\ +\ 4^2

Solve for x, x = 8/\sqrt{3}

Now 6x = 8\ x\ 2\sqrt{3} = 16\sqrt{3}

=>

Since ∠EOF is 60°, we have ∠EOH = 30°.
Then triangle EOH is a right triangle with ∠O = 30°, ∠E = 60°, and ∠H = 90°.
When we put OE = x, we have HE = x/2 = 4/√3 or x = 8/√3 = 8√3/3.
Thus, the perimeter of the regular hexagon is 6·(8√3/3) = 16√3.

Therefore, C is the answer.
Answer: C
