a square has a side length of 15 cm and a rectangular hexagon has a side length of 22.5 cm. the ratio of the perimeter of square to perimeter of hexagon is
Answers
Answer:
4:9
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of square - 60 cm
Perimeter of regular hexagon = 6 x 22.5cm = 135 cm
Now, required ratio = 60:135
= 60÷15 : 135:15
= 4:9
Hence answer is 4:9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
a square has a side length of 15 cm and a rectangular hexagon has a side length of 22.5 cm.
To find:-
Find the ratio of the perimeter of square to perimeter of Hexagon?
Solution:-
Length of the side of a square = 15 cm
Perimeter of a square = 4× length of the side
=>Perimeter of the square = 4×15 = 60 cm
Length of the Side of the regular hexagon
= 22.5 cm
Regular hexagon means the 6 sides of the polygon are equal .
Perimeter of the regular hexagon
=6×Length of the side units
=6×22.5 cm
=135 cm
Perimeter of the regular hexagon = 135 cm
Their ratio = 60:135
=>(6×10):(6×22.5)
=>10:22.5
=>10:(225/10)
=>10×10:(225/10)×10
=>100:225
=>(4×25):(9×25)
=>4:9
Answer:-
The ratio of the Perimeters of the square and the regular hexagon = 4:9
Used formulae:-
- Perimeter of a square = 4× length of the side
- Perimeter of the regular hexagon
- =6×Length of the side
