Question

the perimeter of a 5-sided figure is 45.56 meters two of the sides have the same length. the sum of the other three side lengths is 24.2 meters how long is each of the same length sides explain

Answer 1

The two equal (same length) sides are 10.68 metres each.

Explanation:

45.56 - 24.2 = 21.36 m (length of the 2 equal sides)

21.36 ÷ 2 = 10.68 metres

Answer 2

10.68 m

Explanation:

We are given that a perimeter of 5-sided figure =45.56 m

Two side of same length

Sum of three sides of given figure=24.2 m

We have to find the length of each side of the same length and explain.

Let x be the length of each side of same length

We know that

Perimeter of 5- sided figure=Sum of length of five sides

Therefore,

x+x+24.2=45.56

`2x+24.20=45.56`

`2x=45.56-24.2`

`x=(21.36)/(2)=10.68`

Hence, length of each side of same length=10.68 m
