The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. If the perimeter of the pentagon to the right (five-sided figure) is 96 meters, find the length of each side. 2 of the sides= 2.5x

2.5 divided by 2 equals 1.25 so each side equals 1.25

The length of each side of the pentagon is 15.36 meters.

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all its sides

Since the sum of 2 of its side equals 2.5x, then the value of each side will be:

= 2.5x/2

= 1.25x

Since we've been given the value of the perimeter which is 96 meters, then the value of each side will be:

1.25x(5) = 96

6.25x = 96

Divide both side by 6.25

6.25x/6.25 = 96/6.25

x = 15.36

Therefore, the length of each side of the pentagon is 15.36 meters.
