Question

perimeter: consider a square and a regular hexagon (a six-sided figure with sides of equal length.) one side of the square is 5 feet longer than a side of the hexagon, and the two figures have the same perimeter. what are the length of the sides of each figure?

Answer 1

not asking for straight answer just help going through it

Answer 2

need help

Answer 3

yes please

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

sry can't help you on this

Answer 6

Answer 9

which in markiplier or bonnie

Answer 10

markiplier

Answer 11

Do you need any help ?

Answer 12

Yes please

Answer 13

since the both the figures are regular so the perimeter of square would 4*(side length)

Answer 14

and the perimeter of the hexagon would be 6*(side length of hexagon)

Answer 15

which would be 4x=6y

Answer 16

yes right

Answer 17

and you also a relation between x and y too

Answer 18

also know *

Answer 19

side of the square is 5 more than the side of hexagon

Answer 20

so the other equation would be x=y+5?

Answer 21

RIGHT ! :)

Answer 22

and then you'd do elimination but how do you do that?

Answer 23

So you see, you know the value of x in terms of y
all you need to do is put that value in 4x=6y

Answer 24

4(y+5)=6y

Answer 25

10=y?

Answer 26

YES !

Answer 27

GOOD :)

Answer 28

so y is 10 that means the side of the hexagon is 10

Answer 29

ohh and so to get the square you would just add five to ten resulting in 15?

Answer 30

yes :)

Answer 31

okay omg thank you so much! :D

Answer 32

Anytime @AndPeggy :')
