Question

A pentagon has 5 equal sides, if one side is 7 inches, what is the perimeter of the pentagon?.

what on earth is this talking about?

Answer 1

35 inches

Explanation:

Perimeter is when all sides of a shape are added.
Equal = All numbers are the same

If there are 5 sides and all of them have the same number then you add all of it to get the perimeter.

If one side is 7 and there is 5, you can do multiplication ( 7 x 5 )

OR

You can do 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 ( 7 added, 5 times )

which equals 35.

Answer 2

35 inches

Explanation:

Perimeter = addition of all sides

so we can write it as :-

Perimeter = 7×5 inches

or, Perimeter = 35 inches
