SIDE LENGTH OF TRIANGLE: 2.14 inches SIDE LENGTH OF HEXAGON: 6 inches
To solve this problem, we know that the shapes have equal sides as it states “equilateral triangle”. A triangle has 3 sides and a hexagon has 6 sides. We are told the perimeters are the same so you can set their perimeters equal to each other to solve for x. You would get this : 3(1.4x + 2) = 6(0.5x +2) With basic algebra you would get x= 5 Then you substitute that value into the length sides of the triangle and hexagon. For the triangle you would approx get 2.14 inches and for the hexagon 6 inches
12x > 18x - 27 - 15 12x > 18x - 42 12x - 18x > -42 -6x > -42 x < -42/-6 two negatives make a positive so now its x < 42/6 Lastly divide 42/6 so it can equal 7
