Ok here we go! Last one. Plug in the info P = ns. p = perimeter = 54.4 n = number of sides = 8 ( S = side length = unknown) 54.4 = 8s to solve this all you need to do is divide 8 on both sides of the equation. 54.4 above 8 = 8s above 8. 54.4 above 8 = s. So what is 54.4 divided by 8? 6.8! So in conclusion 6.8 is your answer. Thank you, Have a nice day, and tag me if you need any extra help with any problems.
