The length of the shortest side of the hexagon is; 41.833 inches
<h3>How to find the perimeter of a Polygon?</h3>
Let the length of the shortest side of the hexagon be x. Now, a hexagon has six sides and if the next side is 10 inches longer than the previous side, then the length of the six sides are;
x, x + 10, x + 20, x + 30, x + 40, x + 50
Perimeter is given as 401 inches. Thus;
x + x + 10 + x + 20 + x + 30 + x + 40 + x + 50 = 401
6x + 150 = 401
6x = 401 - 150
6x = 251
x = 251/6
x = 41.833 inches

#SPJ1
3(2x + 4) = -6
6x + 12 = -6
6x = -6 - 12
6x = - 18
x = -18/6
x = -3
I think it would be obtuse triangle
