Apothem

Find the ratio between the two perimeters, the two areas, and two corresponding apothems of two regular hexagons whose sides are 2-3/4 inches and 4-1/8 inches.

Correct answer:

r₁ =  2/3 = 2:3
r₂ =  4/9 = 4:9
r₃ =  2/3 = 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

$r_2=r_1^2=0.6667^2=\frac{4}{9}\approx 0.4444=4:9$

$r_3=r_1=0.6667=\frac{2}{3}\approx 0.6667=2:3$
