The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. If the perimeter of a pentagon is 48 meters, find the length of each side.
48/5 = ?
48/5= 9.6
To find the length of each side of the pentagon, we need to divide the perimeter by the number of sides.
Since a pentagon has 5 sides, we can divide the perimeter by 5:
48 meters รท 5 = 9.6 meters.
Therefore, each side of the pentagon has a length of 9.6 meters.
