Question

Which expression gives the perimeter of the regular pentagon shown below

Answer 1

5x

Explanation:

Answer 2

`P=5x`

Explanation:

1. By definition, a regular pentagon is a polygon that has five sides with equal length and five vertices.

2. As you can see in the figure attached, the lenght of a side of the pentagon is
`x`, so, as the other sides are equal, you can obtain the perimeter by multiplying the lenght of that side by 5. Therefore, you can write the following expression:

`P=5x`

Where
`P` is the perimeter and
`x` is the lenght of each side of the pentagon.
