Question

The length of a piece of wire is 78m.If the wire is used to make a regular pentagon and hexagon,find the difference in the length of its sides.

Answer 1

All of us know that a pentagon has 5 sides
So If the wire is used to make a regular pentagon then each side will be == 78/5 == 15.6 m

A hexagon has 6 sides

And If the wire is used to make a regular hexagon then each side will be == 78 / 6 == 13m


Difference between sides of pentagon and hexagon is ==
== 15.6 - 13 == 2.6m
