OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

how many sides does each pentagon have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, what's a perimeter of a polygon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind...I don't know...

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

lemme give you another figure|dw:1376179191881:dw| what's the perimeter of that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by adding all the sides together.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ohhhh! I see well, a pentagon, 5 sides, of 12cm has a perimeter of 5 sides, 12cm each side, so that's given you want to find out what's the perimeter of another pentagon, similar it's a pentagon, 5 sides, each side is 24cm so what do you think the perimeter of that will be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaay! Thank you!!! Can you help me with another one?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok
