Answer:
Scouts are on the third side in the sense they are running
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular hexagonal shape of perimeter 270 has each side of 270/6 = 45
Let´s call d the run distance then
d = 2/5 * 270 d = 108 m
We don´t have fig 9 available therefore if X is a vertex in the hexagon or at the middle point of one side, scouts are 108 m from the starting point which means they had run 2,4 sides of the hexagon. If X is not either a vertex or a middle point of a side then, we have two solutions for the question depending on the sense the scouts took when began the run (clockwise or counterclockwise)
