Answer 2

★$\large\bold{\underline{\bf{\pink{Question :-}}}}$

• A side of a regular polygon is 3.5 cm in length. The perimeter of the polygon is 17.5 cm. How many sides does the polygon have?

★$\large\bold{\underline{\bf{\red{Answer :-}}}}$

• Polygon has 5 sides.

★$\large\bold{\underline{\bf{\blue{To\:Find :-}}}}$

• No. of sides polygon has.

★$\large\bold{\underline{\bf{\green{Given :-}}}}$

• Side of a regular polygon is 3.5 cm in length and perimeter of the polygon is 17.5 cm.

★$\large\bold{\underline{\bf{\orange{Explanation :-}}}}$

$\\ \\ { \red{ \underline{ \underline {\sf{According \: to \: the \: question, }}}}}$

${ \boxed{ \pink{ \tiny{ \rm{Number \: of \: sides \: of \: the \: polygon = \frac{perimeter \: of \: polygon}{length \: of \: each \: side \: of \: polygon}}}}}}$

$\\ \\ \sf \: \longmapsto \: \dfrac{17.5}{3.5} \\ \\ \sf \: \longmapsto5$

Therefore, polygon has 5 sides.

And the polygon will be pentagon as it has 5 sides.

Hence Verified.
