Answer:

2in

Explanation:

Since we are not given the type of polygon, let the polygon be an hexagon. An hexagon is a 6 sides shape. The perimeter of the shape will be the sum of all the sides of the polygon

Perimeter of the polygon = 6L

Length is the length of the side

Given

Perimeter of the polygon = 12in

Substitute and get L

P = 6L

12 = 6L

L = 12/6

L = 2in

Hence the length of side x of the polygon is 2in
