Question

Davida draws a shape with 5 sides. two sides are each 5 inches long. two other sides are each 4 inches long. the perimeter of the shape is 27 inches. what is the length of the 5th side

Answer 1

First, we already have the perimeter and the sides that we need to find the 5th sides. Next, add all available sides that we have: 5+5+4+4=18. Finally, we need to subtract 27 to 18 to get the final answer is 9 for the 5 the side. Hope you get it.
