Question

Find perimeter of regular pentagon is 100 inches. Find the length of each side.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of each side of the polygon is:

                        20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular polygon--

It is a polygon which has all the sides of equal length and all the angles of equal measure.

Also the perimeter of the regular polygon is given as the sum of all the sides of the regular polygon.

i.e. the formula for the perimeter is given by:

$Perimeter=ns$

where n is the number of sides in a given polygon and s is the length of each sides of the polygon.

Here we have a polygon as a pentagon.

i.e.

$n=5$

and Perimeter=100 inches

i.e.

$100=5s\\\\i.e.\\\\s=\dfrac{100}{5}\\\\i.e.\\\\s=20\ inches$

Answer 2

A regular pentagon is a polygon with five sides of equal length.

The perimeter of a regular polygon is the number of sides (n) multiplied by the length of one side (s).

P=ns
100=5s
s=20

The length of each side is 20 inches
