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 [tex]P=5\times s[/tex]
The perimeter of a regular pentagon is 41.5 cm.
Substitute the value in the formula,
[tex]41.5=5\times s[/tex]
[tex]s=\frac{41.5}{5}[/tex]
[tex]s=8.3[/tex]
Therefore, The length of each side of the pentagon is 8.3 cm.
