Question

The perimeter of a certain pentagon is 10.5 centimeters. Four sides of this pentagon have the same

length, in centimeters, h, and the other side has a length of 1.7 centimeters, as shown below.

Answer 1

Perimeter is calculated by adding all up the sides of the polygon. In this situation, the perimeter of the pentagon is calculated through the equation,
P = 1.7 + 5h = 10.5
Calculating for h from the generated equation will give us an answer of 1.76 cm.
