Answer:

35cm

Explanation:

The net of a regular pentagon has 10 sides.

Since each of the faces are equilateral triangles, the side lengths are equal.

Therefore:

Length of each side of the net = 70/10 =7cm

Therefore, the base is a regular pentagon of side length 7cm.

The perimeter of the base of the pyramid = 5 X 7

=35cm

The perimeter of the base of the pyramid is 35cm.
