The formula to find the perimeter of a regular polygon is P = n × s. This means that you multiply the number of sides times the length of each side. Which polygon will have the greatest perimeter? A. a square with each side 5 cm B. a pentagon with each side 3 cm C. a triangle with each side 6 cm D. a hexagon with each side 2 cm
help @KamiBug @jabez177
A. You have a Square and each side is 5 cm so we have to add 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 four times because a Square has 4 sides. B. You have a Pentagon and each side is 3 cm so we have add 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 five times because a Pentagon has 5 sides. C. You have a Triangle and each side is 6 cm so we have to add 6 + 6 + 6 three times because a Triangle has 3 sides. D. You have a Hexagon and each side is 2 cm so we have to add 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 six times because a Hexagon has 6 sides.
Can you add each one up and put the sum of each answer like this: A. 20 B. ? Then we will move on from there. :)
idk @jabez177
Okay. Let's do A. 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = what? :)
