Question

the length of a piece of wire is 78 m.if the wire is used to make a regular Pentagon and a regular hexagon,find the difference in the lengths of its sides

Answer 1

hi sir,
Pentagon has 5 sides
so,the length of side=78÷5=15.6m
hexagon has 6 sides
so,the length of side=78÷6=13m
the difference between the sides
=15.6m-13m
=2.6m

Answer 2

heya!

here is your solution -

Length of the wire = 78 m

Side of the pentagon
= (78 ÷ 5) m
= 15.6 m
Side of the hexagon
= (78 ÷ 6) m
= 13 m

Difference of their sides
= (15.6 - 13) m
= 2.6 m
