QUESTION
The perimeter of reqular pentagon is 22 centimeters. How long is one side?
ANSWER:
A pentagon has five sides.
All the five sides are of equal length for a REGULAR PENTAGON.
Perimeter = sum of its five sides.
Since all sides are equal....let us assume that each side is 'x'centimeters.
then perimeter = x + x + x + x + x = 5x
It is given that perimeter = 22 centimeters.
==> 5x = 22
Divide both sides by 5
==> 5x/5 = 22/5
==> x = 4.4 cm
So each side is of 4.4 cm long.
Hope you found the explanation useful....
Regards.
