Respuesta :

The smaller and the larger hexagons both have 6 sides

The length of each side of the larger hexagon

How to determine the length of each side of the larger hexagon

The given parameters are:

Smaller side, l =  10

Scale factor = 5 : 7

Represent the length of each side of the larger hexagon with L.

So, we have:

l : L = 5 : 7

Substitute 10 for l

10 : L = 5 : 7

Multiply the ratio by 2

10 : L = 5 *2 : 7  *2

Evaluate the product

10 : L = 10 : 14

By comparison, we have:

L = 14

Hence, the length of each side of the larger hexagon
