Question

The perimeter of a regular pentagon is 45 units, and the length of each side is represented by the expression p - 2. What is the value of p?

Answer 1

p= 11

Explanation:

Answer 2

p=11

Explanation:

if you distribute the perimeter by the number of sides you will get the length of one side. as we know a pentagon has 5 sides.

45/5= 9-2 the length of one side is 9 but you need to add 2 so the equation is true .

45/5=11-2 this makes the statement true

45/5=9
