The perimeter of a regular polygon is 28 cm and its each side equal to

1.	The perimeter of a regular polygon is 28 cm and its each side equal to 7 cm. Find the number of sides of the polygon.
Answer» Perimeter of regular polygon = 28 cm Measurement of each side = 7 cm Let number of sides in regular polygon is n, then, Total length of all sides = perimeter of polygon ⇒ n × 7 = 28 ⇒ 7n = 28 = n = 28/7 = 4 ∴ Regular polygon has 4 sides only.

The perimeter of a regular polygon is 28 cm and its each side equal to 7 cm. Find the number of sides of the polygon.

Answer»

Perimeter of regular polygon = 28 cm

Measurement of each side = 7 cm

Let number of sides in regular polygon is n, then,

Total length of all sides = perimeter of polygon

⇒ n × 7 = 28

⇒ 7n = 28

= n = 28/7 = 4

∴ Regular polygon has 4 sides only.
