8.1 cm long. the perimeter of the polygon is 72.9cm. find the number
of sides of the polygon.
Answers
Answer:
Given Regular Polygon has 9 side
Step-by-step explanation:
Regular polygon is a polygon that has all sides of same length as well as all angles of same measures.
\textbf{We are given following values,}We are given following values,
Length of each side = 8.1 cm
Perimeter of the polygon = 72.9 cm
\textbf{We know that in a regular polygon,}We know that in a regular polygon,
Perimeter = (Number of sides) × (Length of each side)
=> 72.9 = (Number of sides) × 8.1
=> Number of sides = 72.9/8.1
=> Number of sides = 9
\textbf{Given Regular Polygon has 9 sides.}Given Regular Polygon has 9 sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
Side of the regular polygon = 8.1cm
No.of sides = ?
Perimeter = 72.9 cm
solution:
perimeter = X × S units
72.9 cm = X × 8.1 cm
X = 72.9cm ÷ 8.1cm
X = 9
◇ The no.of sides is 9
