Question

A wire of length 56 cm is made into the shape of a heptagon. What is the side length we of the heptagon? *


​

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

because heptagon has 7 sides 56/7=8

Answer 2

Given:

• The length of the wire = 56 cm
• The wire is made into heptagon

To Find:

• The length of each side of the heptagon

Solution:

We know that a heptagon consists of seven sides called a seven-sided polygon.

Perimeter of heptagon = 56 cm → {equation 1}

The formula of Perimeter of heptagon = 7 × side → {equation 2}

Equating equation 1 and 2 we get,

⇒ 7×side = 56

re-arranging the above formula in terms of side

⇒ side = 56/7 {dividing the terms}

⇒ side = 8 cm

∴ The length of each side of the heptagon = 8 cm
