Two regular hexagons are similar. The perimeters have a ratio of 5: 2. If the side of the larger hexagon has a
length of 25 inches, what is the perimeter of the smaller hexagon?
AND COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER IT!?
Answered by Reiny
Perimeter is a linear measurement.
The perimeter or sides of similar shapes are in direct proportion to the lengths of the sides.
so ....
side of larger is 25, or the perimeter is 150
5/2 = 150/x
5x = 300
x = 60 <----- perimeter of smaller

check:
150 : 60
= 15:6
= 5 : 2

Answered by Writeacher
You need to convert 60 inches to measurement in feet.
How many feet are in 60 inches?
