Example Question #121 : Find Perimeter Or Missing Side Lengths Of Polygons: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Md.D.8

What is the perimeter of the regular pentagon below? 

Screen shot 2015 11 09 at 10.46.12 am

 

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 10cm

\displaystyle 6cm

\displaystyle 4cm

\displaystyle 2cm

\displaystyle 8cm

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 10cm

Explanation:

A regular pentagon has five equal sides. To find the perimeter of a pentagon, we can multiply the known side length by \displaystyle 5 (since there are five sides) or we can add the known side length to itself five times. 

\displaystyle 2\times5=10

\displaystyle 2+2+2+2+2=10

\displaystyle 74cm

\displaystyle 71cm

\displaystyle 73cm

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 70cm

Explanation:

A regular pentagon has five equal sides. To find the perimeter of a pentagon, we can multiply the known side length by \displaystyle 5 (since there are five sides) or we can add the known side length to itself five times. 

\displaystyle 14\times5=70

\displaystyle 14+14+14+14+14=70
