Question

The perimeter of the pentagon is 62 units find the length of side BC

Answer 1

recall that the perimeter is simply the sum of all outer sides of a figure.

$\bf 12+3x+10+(x+1)+(2x+3)=62\implies 6x+26=62 \\\\\\ 6x=36\implies x=\cfrac{36}{6}\implies \boxed{x=6} \\\\\\ BC=(6)+1\implies BC=7$
