Item 8 is unpinned. Click to pin.

The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. If the perimeter of the following pentagon (five-sided figure) is 48 meters, find the length the shorter sides.

Answer 1

Since no picture was included, I will solve it using a regular polygon

Let

X =number of sides;

L=length of side;

P=perimeter=LX

So,

L = P/X

L = 48/5

L = 9.6 meters
