The scale says that 1 cm in the drawing corresponds to 4 m in the real lab object.
\n" ); document.write( "All five sides have the same length, and
\n" ); document.write( "I agree that they mean each side of the pentagon in the drawing measures 3 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "That means that the real life object represented is a pentagon with sides measuring
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284m%2F%221+cm%22%29%2A3cm=12m\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is $\"5%2A12m=highlight%2860m%29\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
