A regular hexagon is dilated by a scale factor of 75 to create a new hexagon. How does the perimeter of the new hexagon compare

mezya [45]

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
