Anthoy drew a pentagon with each side measuring 6inches. carol drew a hexagon with each side measuring5 inches which shape has a greater perimeter? write an equation to help explain your answer

Respuesta :

Both the shapes will have the same Perimeter.

It is given that :

Anthony drew a pentagon whose each side measures 6inches

Whereas, Carol drew a hexagon whose each side measures 5inches

The formula to calculate the Perimeter of the Pentagon is: 5*a

and, the formula to calculate the Perimeter of the Hexagon is: 6*a

In the given formulas, 'a' represents the measure of the side for both the Pentagon & Hexagon.

Calculating, Perimeter of Pentagon P1 = 5 * a, where a = 6 inches

                         => P1 = 5*6  => P1 = 30inch

Calculating, Perimeter of Hexagon P2 = 6*a, where a = 5 inches

                         => P2 = 6*5 => P2 = 30inch

We get P1 = P2
Hence, Both the Pentagon & the Hexagon have equal Perimeters of 30inch
