<span>Let the measure of each side of the hexagon be x units. Therefore the perimeter of the original hexagon = 6x units -----(1) Now, the new hexagon is created by a scale factor of 75. We multiply each side of the hexagon with the scale factor 75. Therefore, the measure of each side of the new hexagon is 75x. The perimeter of the new hexagon = 6 * 75x -----(2) Divide equation (2) by equation (1) 6 * 75x/6x =75 Therefore, when a regular hexagon is dilated by a scale factor, the perimeter of the hexagon is also dilated by the same scale factor.</span>

Let the length of the original hexagon be x:
the perimeter of the hexagon will be:
P=length*number of sides
P=6*x=6x
After the dilation the new length became:
length=scale factor × original length
=75 × x
=75x
thus the new perimeter will be:
6×75x
=450x
hence the new perimeter compared to the old one will be:
450x/6x
=75
the new perimeter is 75 times the old one

What is the area of a section of pavement that is 20 ft wide and 70 yd long?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A = 4200 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for area is

A = l*w

We need to have the same units

convert yd to ft

1 yd = 3ft

Multiply each by 70

70 yds = 210 ft

A = 210 *20

A = 4200 ft^2

The larger of two numbers is five more than the smaller number. If the sum of the numbers is 59, find the numbers
Andrews [41]

Answer:

27 and 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be A and B.

The larger number (let's use B) is 5 more than the smaller one (A). In other words:

B=5+A

Their sum is 59. So:

A+B=59

This is a system of equations. Solve by substituting the first equation into the second. Thus:

A+(5+A)=59

Combine like terms:

2A+5=59

Subtract 5 from both sides:

2A=54

Divide both sides by 2:

A=27

So, the smaller number is 27.

This means that the bigger number is 27+5=32.

So, the two numbers are 27 and 32.

And we're done!
