Question

Hexagon D and hexagon H are regular hexagons. The scale factor from hexagon D to hexagon H is 0.25. One side of hexagon D measures 18 cm. What is the length of one side of hexagon H?

Answer 1

anyone in the future who needs it, its 4.5 :(

Answer 2

Answer: 4.5 cm

Explanation:

Here, Hexagon D and hexagon H are regular hexagons.

And, according to the question,

Hexagon D is dilated to hexagon H.

Here the scale factor of dilation is 0.25 or 1/4.

Thus, if the side of hexagon D = 18 cm

⇒ Then the side of hexagon H = 18 × 1/4 = 18/4 = 4.5 cm

Thus, the length of one side of hexagon H is 4.5 cm.
