If a model of the hexagon is made by using a scale factor of 6, which applies to the model? SELECT TWO OPTIONS..

A The model represents a reduction.

B Each side of the model is 15 feet long.

C The model is proportional to the original hexagon.

D One side of the model can be 8.5 feet.

The hexagon has the side dimension given as 2.5 ft each.

Answer:

The correct options are;

B Each side of the model is 15 feet long.

C The model is proportional to the original hexagon.

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the size of the side of the hexagon is 2.5 ft, therefore, using a scale factor of 6 we have a side size of

2.5 ft × 6 = 15 ft.

A scale factor of 6 multiplies each side of the hexagon to form a new hexagon with its sides being the product of the scale factor and the dimension of the side of the original hexagon.

Each side of the model is 15 feet long, and the new hexagon is proportional to the original hexagon.

Answer 2

b.) each side of the model is 15 feet long

c.) the model is proportional to the original hexagon

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

Each side of the regular hexagon below has the same measure. A hexagon with side lengths of 2.5 feet. If a model of the hexagon is made by using a scale factor of 6, which applies to the model? Select two options..

The model represents a reduction.

Each side of the model is 15 feet long.

The model is proportional to the original hexagon.

One side of the model can be 8.5 feet.

The scale factor is divided by 2.5 to get the dimensions of the model.

Here is my answer:

a. The model represents a reduction.

Wrong, because the model of the hexagon is made by using a scale factor of 6, so it must represents a increase

b. Each side of the model is 15 feet long.

Yes, because the model of the hexagon is made by using a scale factor of 6 and its side lengths of 2.5 feet , so we take: 6*2.5 = 15

c. The model is proportional to the original hexagon

Yes, is is 6.

d. One side of the model can be 8.5 feet.

Wrong, One side of the model can be 15 feet

e. The scale factor is divided by 2.5 to get the dimensions of the model.

No, it must be divided by 6 to get back to the original one

Hope it will find you well
