Answer:

The shorter sides are 17 2/3 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, you explained it right.

Let's remember that an hexagon has 6 sides, so the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides.

I assume there are 3 longer sides and 3 shorter sides. (it could be 4/2, but not 5/1 based on the use of plurals in the question).

If it was a regular hexagon the perimeter would be 6x a side length.

But it's not a regular one, however we know the link between the various lengths. So, let's input what we know, taking x as the length of a short side:

162 = 3x + 3 (2x + 1) = 3x + 6x + 3

159 = 9x

x = 17 6/9 so 17 2/3 cm

You need to combine like terms. The like terms in this equation are 10.8, -7.6, and 9.2. 10.8-7.6+9.2 = 12.4. 10.2h can’t be combined with anything else. So the final answer is:

12.4 + 10.2h

What’s point B’ <br> What’s point C’ <br> After being dilated by a scale factor 1.5?
Dimas [21]

Given:

The given figure is dilated by a scale factor 1.5.

To find:

The coordinates of B' and C'.

Solution:

If a figure is dilated by a scale factor k at point (a,b), so the rule of transformation is

(x,y)\to (k(x-a)+a,k(x-b)+b)

From the given figure it is clear that A(3,-3), B(-2,2) and C(-3,-5).

The figure is dilated by a scale factor 1.5 at point A(3,-3), so the rule of transformation is

(x,y)\to (1.5(x-3)+3,1.5(x-(-3))+(-3))

(x,y)\to (1.5(x-3)+3,1.5(x+3)+(-3))

(x,y)\to (1.5(x)-4.5+3,1.5(x)+4.5-3)

(x,y)\to (1.5x-1.5,1.5x+1.5)

Using this rule, we get

B(-2,2)\to B'(1.5(-2)-1.5,1.5(2)+1.5)

B(-2,2)\to B'(-3-1.5,3+1.5)

B(-2,2)\to B'(-4.5,4.5)

And

C(-3,-5)\to C'(1.5(-3)-1.5,1.5(-5)+1.5)

C(-2,2)\to C'(-4.5-1.5,-7.5+1.5)

C(-2,2)\to C'(-6,-6)

Therefore, the coordinates of B' and C' are B(-4.5,4.5) and C'(-6,-6).

Y=-3/8x-7 in standard form
Readme [11.4K]
Y = -3/8x - 7....add 3/8x from both sides
3/8x + y = -7 ...multiply both sides by 8
3x + 8y = - 56 <==
