Question

A regular pentagon has a perimeter of 5x+15. What is the length of one side of the pentagon?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The length of the side of the regular pentagon is x + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

• A pentagon has 5 sides.
• Perimeter/5 = Side
• Perimeter = 5x + 15

Work:

• Perimeter = 5x + 15
• => Sum of 5 sides = 5x + 15
• => length of a side = 5x/5 + 15/5
• => x + 3

Hence, the length of the side of the regular pentagon is x + 3.
