Question

Find the length of each side of the polygon for the given perimeter.

P=48 cm

Answer 1

there are 8 sides, so is an OCTAgon.

well, we know the (P)erimeter is 48, namely the sum of all sides is 48, so each side is then (48 ÷ 8 ) cm

Answer 2

length of each sides = 6 cm

Explanation:

The above diagram is an octagon. An octagon has 8 sides . A perimeter is the sides or boundary that surround a shape. Since the octagon has 8 sides the perimeter can be gotten by adding the lengths of the sides .

The perimeter of the octagon is given as 48 cm. since the octagon has 8 sides to get the length of each sides one have to divide the perimeter by the number of sides.

Mathematically,

length of each sides = perimeter/number of sides

perimeter = 48 cm

number of sides = 8

length of each sides = perimeter/number of sides

length of each sides = 48/8

length of each sides = 6 cm
