Question 1076863: To start the construction of a rest house in tagaytay, the engineer advice his foreman to erect five pegs to establish the perimeter (outside) of the floor plan, which is in the shape of a regular pentagon. The desired area of the floor plan is 80 squared meters. Find the length of the string needed in the layout. Consider that 5 percent is accounted for tying. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The side length of a regular pentagon, with an area of 80 mē, is 6.819 m/side.
5*6.819m=34.095 meters.
Since 5% is used for tying, we get:
.95x=34.095
x=35.89m as the amount of string needed for the job. ☺☺☺☺
