Question

The lengths (in inches) of two sides of a regular pentagon are represented by the expressions 4x + 7 and x + 16. Find the length of a side of the pentagon.

hintHint:

A regular pentagon is a polygon that has 5 sides all of same length and all the angles of the same measure.

The correct answer is: 19


    Explanation:
    • We have been given the two sides of a regular pentagon in the form of expressions that is -  
    • 4x + 7 and x + 16
    • We have to find the length of a side of the pentagon.
    Step 1 of 1:
    The length of the two sides of a regular pentagon is represented by x + 16; 4x + 7
    Now, We know that all sides of regular polygon are equal.
    So,

    X + 16 = 4x + 7
    3x = 16 - 7
    3x = 9
    x = 3
    And the measure of length will be

    = x + 16
    = 3 + 16
    = 19
