Step1: Recall perpendicular - bisector property

A perpendicular bisector of a line segment divides the segment into two equal parts. Given that $FG$ is the perpendicular bisector of $EF$ and $EF = 14$ units, then $EG=GF$.

Step2: Calculate the lengths of $EG$ and $GF$

Since $EG = GF=\frac{EF}{2}$, and $EF = 14$ units, so $EG=GF = 7$ units.

Step1: Analyze the vertices of a regular hexagon

A regular hexagon has 6 vertices. To form an equilateral triangle by connecting the vertices of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle, we can use combinatorial and geometric reasoning. The equilateral triangles formed will have side - lengths equal to the side - length of the hexagon or the long - diagonal of the hexagon.

Step2: Count the number of equilateral triangles

There are 2 non - congruent types of equilateral triangles that can be formed by connecting the vertices of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle. The number of equilateral triangles is 2.

Step1: Understand honeycomb structures

Honeycomb structures in aerospace engineering are designed to have high strength - to - weight ratios. Hexagons are used because they can tessellate (fit together without gaps) and provide maximum strength while minimizing weight.

D. $EG = 7$ units, $GF = 7$ units
