The Perimeter of a Pentagon is 20.5 centimeters. Four sides of this pentagon have the same length, in centimeters, x, and the other side has a length of 2.1 centimeters, as shown below. What is the value of x? ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]4.6\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the pentagon = 20.5 cm

Length of 4 sides = [tex]x[/tex]

Length of the other side = 2.1 cm

Perimeter of the pentagon will be

[tex]x+x+x+x+2.1=20.5\\\Rightarrow 4x+2.1=20.5\\\Rightarrow 4x=20.5-2.1\\\Rightarrow 4x=18.4\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{18.4}{4}\\\Rightarrow x=4.6\ \text{cm}[/tex]

The value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]4.6\ \text{cm}[/tex].
