How do you use the word pentagon in a sentence for math?
The boy had to find the area and perimeter of the pentagon.
Find the perimeter and area of a pentagon with side length 8 cm?
Area = 110.11 cm2
What is the area of a regular pentagon with a side length of ten units?
A regular pentagon has five (5) equilateral triangles within it. Find the area of each triangle (1/2bh where b is the base of the triangle or the length of a side of the pentagon, and h is the height of the triangle or the apothem of the pentagon) and multiply the area of the triangle times five (5).
What is the area of a 6 cm pentagon?
If 6 is the side of a regular pentagon, the area is 61.937
How do you find the area and perimeter of a pentagon?
Since the question does not say so, you may not assume that the pentagon is regular. One way to find the area is to select any point inside the pentagon and join it to each of the vertices. This will divide the pentagon into 5 triangles. You can then measure the sides of each triangle and thereby calculate its area. Then sum the areas of the triangles. You could also select one side in each triangle as the base and then draw and measure the perpendicular distance to the opposite vertex. That is another way to find the area of each triangle. There are other methods, too. To find the perimeter you will need to measure the length of each side of the pentagon and add these lengths together.
