Question

The permitter of a five sided figure is 45.56 m two of the sides have the same likes the sum of the other three sides length is 24.2 m how long is each of the same length sides

Answer 1

Answer: Let's assume that the two sides with the same length have a measure of "x" meters each.

The perimeter of a five-sided figure is the sum of all its sides. We are given that the perimeter is 45.56 meters, so we can set up an equation:

Perimeter = 2x + Sum of the other three sides

45.56 = 2x + (Sum of the other three sides)

Now, we are given that the sum of the other three sides' lengths is 24.2 meters, so we can write:

45.56 = 2x + 24.2

Now, isolate "2x" on one side of the equation:

2x = 45.56 - 24.2

2x = 21.36

Now, divide by 2 to find the value of "x":

x = 21.36 / 2

x ≈ 10.68

So, each of the sides with the same length is approximately 10.68 meters.
