Question

A regular pentagon with side lengths of (x-4) has a perimeter of 5. Write and solve an equation to help you find the length of each side of the pentagon.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the side = (x-4)

Perimeter of Pentagon = 5*side

$let \: the \: side \: be \: a \: \\ but \: \\ the \: variable \: a \: should \: be \: positive \: \\ now \\ putting \: the \: given \: perimeter \: in \: the \: formula \\ perimeter = 5 \times a \\ 5 = 5 \times (x - 4) \\ 5 = 5x - 20 \\ 5 + 20 = 5x \\ 25 = 5x \\ x = \frac{25}{5} \\ x = 5$

hence

hence Putting the value of x in ( x- 4 )

= ( 5 - 4 )= 1cm

The length of each side is 1cm
