Step-by-step explanation:
A regular polygon is a shape with equal sides and angles. Because of this, we can write the following equation to set two sides equal to each other:
Solving, we will get a in terms of b:
Now we can substitute a for (b+3) into our equation:
Therefore, the length of each side of this polygon is .
Since the perimeter of the polygon consists of all five sides, the perimeter is:
Composite figure is made up of 4 triangles and a square.
Area of Square = Length x Length
Area of Square = 12 x 12
Area of Square= 144 cm²
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle = 1/2 x 12 x 8
Area of triangle = 48 cm²
Area of 4 Triangles = 48 x 4
Area of 4 Triangles = 192 cm²
Total Area = 144 + 192 = 336 cm²
Area of Square = Length x Length
Area of Square = 12 x 12
Area of Square= 144 cm²
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle = 1/2 x 12 x 8
Area of triangle = 48 cm²
Area of 4 Triangles = 48 x 4
Area of 4 Triangles = 192 cm²
Total Area = 144 + 192 = 336 cm²
