A pentagon has 5 sides. The perimeter is 60 so each of its sides is 60/5=12.
Area = n (s/2)^2 / tan( π /n)
= 5(12/2)^2 / tan ( π /5)
= 247.7487

regular pentagon has five sides,perimeter=140*5=700cm
A pentagon, which is a 5-sided figure, will have a perimeter equal to the sum of the lengths of all the sides. This will be true for any polygon; the perimeter of any polygon is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. If the pentagon is a regular pentagon, then the perimeter will be 5 times the length of one of the sides. For any regular polygon, the perimeter will be the length of one side times the number of sides in that polygon.
The formula used to find the area of any regular polygon is A = 1/2 a P where the lower case a stands for the length of the apothem and the uppercase P stands for the perimeter of the polygon.
Multiply the known length by 5, because the sides are all the same length on a regular pentagon and a pentagon has 5 sides.
The perimeter is the sum of the sides of a polygon. So, to find the perimeter of a pentagon, you need only to add up the 5 side lengths. In the event the pentagon is regular (all equal sides and angles) then you can multiply the measure of the side by 5 to get the perimeter.
