Walter has a vegetable garden in the shape of a regular pentagon.How much fencing will he need to enclose his garden if one of its sides measure 4.06 meters?
And how many sides are there in a pentagon?
A pentagon has 5 sides.
Multiply: 5 * 4.06 to find the total amount of fencing needed.
We'll be glad to check your answer.
To find out how much fencing Walter needs to enclose his garden, we need to calculate the perimeter of the regular pentagon.
A regular pentagon has five equal sides, so if one side of Walter's garden measures 4.06 meters, all other sides will also measure 4.06 meters.
To find the perimeter, we need to multiply the length of one side by the number of sides in the regular pentagon, which is 5.
Perimeter = Length of one side * Number of sides
Perimeter = 4.06 meters * 5
Perimeter = 20.3 meters
Therefore, Walter will need 20.3 meters of fencing to enclose his garden.
To find out how much fencing Walter will need to enclose his garden, we need to calculate the perimeter of the regular pentagon.
The formula to find the perimeter of a regular polygon is: Perimeter = number of sides * length of each side.
Since a regular pentagon has five sides, we can use this formula to find the perimeter.
Given that one of the sides measures 4.06 meters, we can calculate the perimeter as follows:
Perimeter = 5 * 4.06 meters
Perimeter = 20.3 meters
Therefore, Walter will need approximately 20.3 meters of fencing to enclose his vegetable garden in the shape of a regular pentagon.
