May you help me on this one dear? @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

can you find the side of hexagon A ?

hartnn (hartnn):

total length = 36 total sides =6 length of each side = ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36/6 ? = 6

hartnn (hartnn):

since all sides are equal, length of each side = 36/6 = 6 yes, you're correct :)

hartnn (hartnn):

length of side B is 3/2 so the factor is just the ratio of sides!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O.o , I thought it would be 3/2 as well - but 3/2 isn't an option..

hartnn (hartnn):

no...3/2 is length of B not the answer :P dilation factor is asked its the ratio of sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it was 6?

hartnn (hartnn):

ratio = (3/2)/ 6 = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.25 = 1/4

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay, we're done?

hartnn (hartnn):

yesss
