Respuesta :

The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of it's side lengths.

We have a pentagon with side lengths equal to:

x, x, x, 3x, and 3x

a)

The perimeter of this pentagon is:

P = x + x + x + 3x + 3x

Since the perimeter is given as 54 cm:

x + x + x + 3x + 3x = 54

Answer: Option A

b) Solve the equation in part a)

Collecting all like terms:

9x = 54

Dividing by 9:

x = 54 / 9

x = 6 cm

c) Find the length of each side.

The sides are

x=9 cm

x=9 cm

x=9 cm

3x=27 cm

3x=27 cm
