Since we are not given the type of polygon, <u>let the polygon be an hexagon</u>. An hexagon is a 6 sides shape. The perimeter of the shape will be the sum of all the sides of the polygon
Perimeter of the polygon = 6L
Length is the length of the side
Given
Perimeter of the polygon = 12in
Substitute and get L
P = 6L
12 = 6L
L = 12/6
L = 2in
<em>Hence the length of side x of the polygon is 2in</em>
