Respuesta :

Based on the given perimeter of the polygon and the length of each side; the length of the longest side of the polygon is 29 cm

Perimeter of a polygon

  • Perimeter = 150 cm

Perimeter of the polygon = x + (x + 6) + (x + 5) + (x + 1) + (x + 8) + (x + 4)

150 = x + x + 6 + x + 5 + x + 1 + x + 8 + x + 4

150 = 6x + 24

150 - 24 = 6x

126 = 6x

x = 126/6

x = 21

The longest side of the polygon is (x + 8)

= 21 + 8

= 29 cm
