Question

The scale factor of two similar hexagons is 3:7.

The area of the smaller hexagon is 18 m².
What is the area of the larger hexagon?
36 m²
42 m²
98 m²
5832 m²
324 m²

Answer 1

= 42m²

Explanation:

The ratio of two similar hexagons is 3:7

where the smaller correspond to 3

And

the bigger correspond to 7

where the area of the smaller haxagon is 18

so if 3 = 18m²

then 7 = ?

therefore

`(7)/(3) * 18 \\ = 42 {m}^(2)`

therefore the area of the bigger hexagon is 42m²
