Six circles of radius 1 unit are drawn tangent to the sides of a regular hexagon. Each circle is also tangent to two other circles as shown in the drawing. What is the perimeter of the hexagon? Express your answer in simplest radical form.

Step-by-step explanation:

if we connect center of circles which tangent each other, then we get bigger regular hexagon with side length 2 unit but it differ 60° from original (smaller) hexagon. hence smaller hexagon has height 2•2–2•1 = 2. from center of smaller hexagon draw line to any two neigbouring vertexes so we get an equilateral triangle with height 1. by using pythagorean or trigonometry we get side length of smaller hexagon

so the perimeter is

unit

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
