Question

Two similar hexagons have areas 36 sq. in. and 64 sq. in. What is the ratio of a pair of corresponding sides

Answer 1

The problem says that the areas are in ratio 36:64. Just like in the last problem, area ratios are the square of the ratio of the sides.

\[36:64 = 6^{2}:8^{2}\]

So the ratio of the corresponding sides is 6:8 = 3:4
