Two regular hexagons are similar. The perimeters have a ratio of 1:5. If the side of the larger hexagon has a length of 25 inches, what is the perimeter of the smaller hexagon?

Answer:

30 inches

Explanation:

if one side of the larger hexagon is 25, multiply that by 6 to get the total perimeter. 25 x 6 = 150.

- the smaller hexagon is 1/5 the size

- 1/5 of 150 is 30

hope this helps :)
