summer school is over, and I'm feeling self-destructive. Take all of my points and have a good night. 1/3

Thanks for the points... dude

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
