The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. If the perimeter of the following pentagon is 48 meters, find the length of each side.
48/5
To find the length of each side of the pentagon, you need to divide the perimeter by the number of sides.
A regular pentagon has equal side lengths. In this case, we don't know if it's a regular pentagon or not, but we can assume it is.
If the perimeter of the pentagon is 48 meters, and it has 5 sides, we can divide the perimeter by the number of sides to find the length of each side.
48 meters รท 5 sides = 9.6 meters
Therefore, the length of each side of the pentagon is 9.6 meters.
