Question

In the following figure that I will post, the similarity ratio of regular hexagon P to regular hexagon T is 4/5 and the similarity ratio of regular hexagon R to T is 2/5. What is the difference of n and m?
Show all steps of solution.

Answer 1

I'm solving

Answer 2

Okay.

Answer 3

hmmm, according to my calculations, n = 19 and m = 0 leaving a difference of 19....I could be wrong though. Seems odd

Answer 4

The shape with n is the bigger figure and according to the sizes of the shapes, it seems right

Answer 5

R has side = 6
P has side = 12
T has side = 15 so it is consistent

Answer 6

in that respect
