Sophia was asked to find the original dimension of a reduced hexagon. A smaller hexagon has a top side length of 1.2 inches and bottom side length of x inches. A larger hexagon has a top side length of 7.2 inches and bottom side length of 9 inches. Sophia found that the enlarged hexagon’s dimensions were just 6 more than the original hexagon, thus x = 3. What was Sophia’s error? Sophia should have found the number the dimensions were multiplied by. Sophia should have divided 9 and 6 . Sophia should have set up a proportion to solve for x. Sophia should have multiplied 7.2 and 1.2. Sophia is correct and did not make an error.
