Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An hexagon has 6 equal sides therefore its perimeter is obtained by summing up all the values of the 6 sides

For the bigger hexagon, the perimeter = 32 + 32 + 32 +32 + 32 + 32

or   6 *32

= 192 cm

Next, we'll calculate the perimeter of the smaller hexagon

Since their perimeters are in the ratio 8: 5

Let x represent the perimeter of the smaller hexagon

This gives;

8 : 5 = 192 : x

change to fraction

8/5 = 192 /x

cross multiply

8x = 192*5

8x = 960

Divide both sides by the coefficient if x which is 8

x = 120 cm

Since all sides of an hexagon are equal, we'll simple divide the value of the perimeter by the number of sides of the hexagon

120/6

20 cm

Therefore, the length of the corresponding smaller hexagon is 20 cm

Tell me all the properties of algebra
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  • Commutative Property of Addition.-  
  • 2 + 3 = 3 + 2
  •  Commutative Property of Multiplication.- ex. 5 × 7 = 7 × 5  
  • Associative Property of Addition.- ex.(2 + 3) + 6 = 2 + (3 + 6)  
  • Associative Property of Multiplication.- ex. (7 × 3) × 10 = 7 × (3 × 10)
  • Distributive Properties of Addition Over Multiplication- ex. 2 × (2 + 8) = 2 × 2 + 2 × 8  
  • (2 + 8) × 10 = 2 × 10 + 8 × 10
  • The reciprocal of a non zero real number a is 1/a.- ex. reciprocal of 5 is 1/5 and 5 × (1/5) = 1

X=6<br> is a solution to the inequality x−5≤ 10<br><br> True or False?
vekshin1

Answer:

  • \boxed{\sf{FALSE}}
  • \boxed{\sf{x\leq 15}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of x from one side of the equation.

<h3>x-5≤10</h3>

<u>First, add by 5 from both sides.</u>

\sf{x-5+5\leq10+5}

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Add the numbers from left to right.</u>

\sf{10+5=15}

\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x\leq 15}}

  • <u>Therefore, the solution is x≤15, which is our answer.</u>

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Solve the system using the substitution method <br> 4x+6y=8<br> 3x+y=9
inessss [21]
4x+6y=8
3x+y=9

y = 9 - 3x

4x + 6(9-3x) = 8
4x + 54 - 18x = 8
14x = 46
x = 23/7

y = 9 - 3(23/7)
y = 9 - 69/7
y = - 6/7
