Question

The formula P = ns gives the formula for the perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides and side length s.

What is the length of each side of a regular octagon with a perimeter of 54.4 cm? A regular octagon has 8 equal sides.

Answer 1

P= 54.4
n=8
s=?
Divide P(54.4) by n(8) and you get s(6.8).
