Aregular hexagon with a perimeter of 24 meters is dilated by a scale factor of 5/2 to create a new hexagon. what is the perimeter of the new hexagon? the correct answer is: 60 meters

Each side of the hexagon is 24/6=4m. The scale factor makes the new side length 5/2×4=10m so the perimeter is 6×10=60m. Alternatively, since the perimeter is a linear measurement the scale factor can be applied directly to the perimeter: 5/2×24=60m.
