can you please tell me how

anonymous · Answer

well a pentagon has 5 sides right?

anonymous · Answer

and each side is the same just like it is with a square

anonymous · Answer

that means that you can just times the length of 1 side with the amount of how many sides there are rather than adding each side together

anonymous · Answer

P=5s  =  P=s+s+s+s+s

anonymous · Answer

and if each side was 11 inches you just plug that in |dw:1365640483753:dw|
