Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>
we know that
The perimeter of a hexagon is the sum of its six length sides
Let
x ----> the length of a shorter side
y ---> the length of a longer side
The perimeter of the hexagon is equal to
so
---->equation A
Each longer side measure 1 in. less than 4 times the length of a shorter side
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
Solve for x
