Question

Bashar drew a regular pentagon with sides that are 5 inches long. Then he drew a pentagon with sides that are half the length of the first pentagon's sides. What is the length of the sides of the second pentagon?

Answer 1

The length of the sides of the second pentagon would be half of 5 inches, or 2.5 inches. This is because when you halve the length of a line, the new line is half as long as the original.
