A regular hexagon is dilated by a scale factor of 4/3 to create a new hexagon. How does the perimeter of the new hexagon compare with the original perimeter?


oPTIONS:
The perimeter of the new hexagon is 4/3 the perimeter of the original hexagon.


The perimeter of the new hexagon is 12/3 the perimeter of the original hexagon.


The perimeter of the new hexagon is 16/3 the perimeter of the original hexagon.


The perimeter of the new hexagon is 16/9 the perimeter of the original hexagon.

Answer:

When a figure is dilated by a scale factor of a/b, then the new perimeter is a/b of the original perimeter and the new area is a 2 b 2 of the original area. Therefore, if the hexagon is dilated by a scale factor of , then the new perimeter is of the original perimeter.
