Question

If the areas of two similar hexagons are to each other as 5 : 2, and one side of the first hexagon is 25, what is the corresponding side in the other hexagon?
A. 250.00
B. 3.16
C. 15.81
D. 10.00 13.

Answer 1

D. 10.0013 

$\frac{5}{2}$ = $\frac{25}{x}$
Then you have to cross multiply so 25*2=5x
Solve for x. 
50=5x.
50/5=5x/5
10=x
