Answer:

The length of each side of the pentagon is 8.3 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The perimeter of a regular pentagon is 41.5 cm.

To find : Write and solve an equation to determine the length of each side of the pentagon?

Solution :

Regular pentagon has 5 sides.

The perimeter of the regular pentagon is $P=5\times s$

The perimeter of a regular pentagon is 41.5 cm.

Substitute the value in the formula,

$41.5=5\times s$

$s=\frac{41.5}{5}$

$s=8.3$

Therefore, The length of each side of the pentagon is 8.3 cm.
