Question

The perimeter of a pentagon is 20t + 7.

Four sides have the following lengths:
6t, 2t, 4t – 5, and 5t + 1.

Answer 1

3t+11

Explanation:

A pentagon has 5 sides

Perimeter is the total measurement around an object=20t+7

we have not been given the 5th side measurement so lets make it x

6t +2t+4t-5+5t+1+x=20t+7

put the liketerm together i e

6t+2t+4t+5t-20t+x=7+5-1

17t-20t+x=11

-3t+x=11

x=11+3t.

So the measurements of the fifth side is 11+3t same as 3t+11
